Continental operated an old SIMOVERT drive from 1994 to control their mixing processes. Since the drive was obsolete and spare parts were not available anymore, the customer wanted a partner who was able to perform a complete drive retrofit and provide all suitable services which were necessary. 

Siemens Service Experts replaced the old SIMOVERT drive from 1994 with a new SINAMICS S120 water-cooled drive. The modular SINAMICS S120 drive is a state-of-the-art modular system for high-performance motion control applications in industrial plants and machinery constructions. 

The complete project management, assembly and commissioning was done by Siemens. 

Continental develops pioneering technologies and services for sustainable and connected mobility of people and their goods. Founded in 1871, the technology company offers safe, efficient, intelligent and affordable solutions for vehicles, machines, traffic and transportation.
