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.

Quote from Elcos’ CEO:

"The STAMFORD S6 was the perfect choice for this project,” says Marco Rozzi, CEO of Elcos. “Reliability was paramount for our client, and we knew the STAMFORD S6 would meet that need without hesitation. After years of collaboration, we trust STAMFORD’s proven performance and value the added peace of mind provided by the three-year warranty."
