INVT GD350A VFD for Ceramic Tile Production in Morocco

Abstract: As a prominent football nation, Morocco will co-host the 2030 FIFA World Cup, necessitating the expansion of related sports facilities. Coupled with the improvement of living standards, the demand for ceramic tiles has grown accordingly. To capitalize on this opportunity, several local Moroccan ceramic tile manufacturers have begun introducing new tile production lines, with INVT GD350A series high-performance vector frequency inverters playing a crucial role.

Keywords: GD350A, ceramic tile

1. Introduction

The ceramic tile production line comprises multiple subsystems, including raw material mixing, forming, firing, and inspection. Fully automated production demands high precision, energy efficiency, and operational stability, thus prompting meticulous brand selection. INVT's GD20 and GD350A series frequency inverters incorporate advanced vector control technology and multiple functional terminals. The GD350A series further includes STO safety functions, diverse communication interfaces, and closed-loop control features, effectively aligning with customers' production process demands.
