How eDrive works
Limiting the total energy consumption by utilizing both ends of the separator makes it possible to position a small energy-efficient motor inside the machine. Unlike a typical gear-drive system with up to seven bearings and three shafts, the eDrive with its compact, space-saving design has only one shaft with three bearings.
