Brave Controls has just completed converting 8 Hayssen Baggers from outdated OEM controls and motor/gearbox drives, to industry standard AB controls and servo drives. Brave Controls beat the competition with an aggressive bid and installation schedule. Brave completed the project at half the cost of other bidders while completing each line conversion in less than 24 hours of process downtime (2 baggers per line). Line trials have indicated a 40% increase in bagging operation. Operators and Maintenance rave about the ease of machine operation with the easy-to-use HMI, ultra-clean control panel, and improved re-wiring of the entire machine. Machine efficiencies have improved dramatically, along with sustained 20% rate increase.
