Pulp & Paper

The pulp and paper industry demands reliable, robust motor control for a variety of applications, from chippers and pumps to shredders and re-pulpers. AuCom provides a comprehensive range of motor control solutions — including soft starters, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and motor protection devices — designed to protect equipment, optimise energy use, and ensure smooth operation across all stages of production.

Soft starters offer significant advantages in pulp and paper applications, including:

• Reduced start current and gentle acceleration to minimise mechanical and electrical stress on the system
• Smoother operation, leading to less wear on equipment
• Advanced features like instantaneous overcurrent, PowerThrough, and motor thermal models to protect equipment and maximise productivity
