14,000 Newtons of pushing force
The Egytech plant in Ramadan City, Egypt, manufactures medium and high voltage power cables and the company contacted Nu-Star in search of a machine powerful enough to push the larger 40,000kg+ cable drums produced.
They had been unable to find a suitable product elsewhere on the market. Nu-Star developed a larger version of its Super Power Pusher unit & was able to offer the Dual Motor Super Power Pusher for this application. The product is powered by two 1.5Kw DC electric motors and creates over 14,000 Newtons of pushing force. It is ideally suited to this type of application where an extremely high starting torque is required to overcome the rolling resistance of the load.
After sustained successful operation, Egytech has purchased more units.
Egytech procurement professional Wael Farag says: “The Nu-Star Drum Pusher seems quite unique in the market place and is perfect for our requirements. It is very durable and has all the power we need to move our larger cable drums. Compared to other alternatives, such as a forklift truck, it is significantly smaller and cheaper and there are no fumes to consider when using it inside the factory. It’s extremely easy to operate and is very much safer than trying to move these drums by hand. The staff are very happy with the machines and Nu-Star has given us good service.”
