The document discusses the Eco Drive Motor (EDM) which is an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor. It has several advantages over traditional induction motors such as being 54% smaller, 56% lighter, and having 5% higher efficiency. This leads to lower motor losses, reduced noise levels, extended bearing life, and lower energy costs. Implementation of EDMs across various drying operations could save an estimated 40% on annual energy consumption and costs with a payback period of less than 2 years.
