EcoPlan® Drive Concept
Performance begins with the drive system. That is why ARKU developed the EcoPlan®drive system, an innovative and energy-saving drive concept for feeding lines. In addition, the material transport prevents rapid wear of the leveling rollers and also protects the strip material.

More performance, less wear.
The patented EcoPlan® drive concept from ARKU provides up to 30% more performance with the same power requirements. Similar to an ABS system in a vehicle, EcoPlan®, prevents the leveling rollers from slipping on the material. Intelligent intermediate rollers ensure that the leveling rollers apply even pressure. This reduces the wear on the leveling rollers and also prevents marks on the material.
- Optimized torque: thanks to step-down couplings.
- No skidding: free running compensates for speed differences between the leveling rollers and the sheet metal strip.
- No slipping: less wear on the leveling rollers.
- Shorter changeovers: Switch out the leveling rollers and change the leveling parameters during operation.
