Standby power for pharmaceutical manufacturing in Ticino
Pharmaceutical manufacturing demands a reliable power supply to ensure continuous production and safeguard product integrity. For this project, Elcos provided a standby power solution tailored to the specific needs of the facility, which required a 1250kVA power capacity. This demand aligned well with Elcos’ container-housed generator range, equipped to meet stringent standards for noise reduction and reliability.
The Elcos system features an engine paired with a STAMFORD S6 alternator, delivering an output range of 810 to 1695kVA at 380 to 480V. The STAMFORD S6 alternator, known for its exceptional reliability and performance, is ideal for mission-critical applications, ensuring power continuity during unexpected outages.
Proven reliability and customization options
The STAMFORD S6 alternator, part of the S-Range, benefits from a three-year warranty and CoreCooling™ high-efficiency airflow technology, which enhances thermal performance and power density. Known globally for their reliability and supported by a 24/7 service network, STAMFORD alternators offer peace of mind to power solution providers and end users alike.
The containerized Elcos generator can operate at a noise level as low as 50 dB(A) at 7 meters, holding RINA certification and customizable with various features, including lighting systems, auxiliary outlets, thermostatically controlled heaters, and motor-driven grids. Elcos works closely with clients to ensure each power solution is configured to meet precise project requirements.
