Danfoss Drives – Leading‑Edge VFD Technology for Maximum Efficiency
Why Danfoss? Danfoss has pioneered variable‑frequency drives (VFDs) since 1968 and remains one of the world’s leading manufacturers. Their best‑in‑class power converters and drives optimize efficiency for any motor technology, and more than 4,700 Danfoss experts work every day to help businesses improve uptime and reduce energy consumption. With precise speed control, Danfoss VFDs can cut energy use by up to 80 %—dramatically lowering operating costs and supporting your sustainability goals.
The Benefits of Variable‑Frequency Drives
A VFD is the best friend of your electric motor, intelligently adjusting speed and torque to match demand. Compared with motors running unregulated at full speed, VFDs typically deliver energy savings of 40 % or more. These savings translate into a fast return on investment (often 6–12 months) while also extending equipment life, reducing maintenance and improving process control. Danfoss offers drives for all applications—from fans, pumps and conveyors to marine propulsion and renewable energy systems.
What Makes Danfoss Drives Special?
Unlike some manufacturers, Danfoss focuses purely on drives, creating millions of variants to suit any motor type. A single Danfoss VFD can self‑tune and optimize induction, permanent‑magnet or synchronous‑reluctance motors. This flexibility lets you choose the motor technology and manufacturer that best suit your application without being locked into a bundled package. Danfoss drives also incorporate advanced digital intelligence and condition‑monitoring capability, enabling early detection of maintenance needs and near real‑time decisions for greater uptime.
Every drive is 100 % tested before leaving the factory to ensure reliability. Built‑in harmonics mitigation, wide communication‑protocol support and options for low‑voltage, medium‑voltage and decentral drives mean Danfoss solutions meet the toughest grid and application requirements. Whether you’re seeking energy savings, higher productivity, electrification or digitalization, Danfoss drives provide the platform.
Crossman Automation – Your Danfoss Systems Integrator
Crossman Automation has engineered and manufactured Danfoss variable‑frequency drives for industrial and oil‑field applications for decades. As a systems integrator, we offer both standard and custom designs tailored to your environment and process. Our patented Sensorless Artificial Lift Technology (S.A.L.T.) and Well Manager interface optimise artificial‑lift systems (ESP, PCP, beam and Rotoflex) without downhole sensors.
Because Danfoss is independent of motor manufacturers and can adapt to any motor technology, we can pair drives with your existing motors or specify new combinations to maximise performance and energy efficiency. When you optimise the entire drive‑motor system, potential energy savings of up to 60 % are achievable.
Comprehensive Support and Custom Solutions
Crossman Automation is a full‑line supplier of Danfoss and Vacon drives, soft starters, harmonic filters and accessories. Our engineers assist with application analysis, system design, drive programming and on‑site commissioning. We also provide repair and technical support services to keep your operations running smoothly. If you need a custom configuration—whether for harsh industrial environments, hazardous locations or unique torque and speed profiles—we can design and build it.
Applications We Serve
Our Danfoss drive solutions power equipment across diverse sectors, including manufacturing, aggregates, water and wastewater treatment, food processing, HVAC, mining and oil‑field operations. We also deliver medium‑voltage drive systems like the VACON 1000 series for pumps and fans requiring compact, reliable MV solutions with high mean time between failures (MTBF) and 100 % full‑load burn‑in testing.
