Tequila Automation

In the heart of the Jalisco Highlands, Casa Esparza has established itself as a tequila company specializing in the production of high-quality agave and tequila products for export. With its own plantations and a team dedicated to agave cultivation, the company has managed to maintain strict control over each stage of its production process. However, to achieve excellence in production, they needed allies that would guarantee efficiency, safety and precision in their operations. Analyzing their case in detail, Sumitomo Drive Technologies was able to offer a comprehensive solution that transformed their production chain.

From receiving the agave to distillation, each step requires precision and control. Sumitomo Drive Technologies has played a key role in this process, especially in the milling line, which is moved by 3 Cyclo gearmotors and controlled by an operation panel that allows the speed, start and stop of the motors and water pumps to be controlled, thanks to the connection with the Optidrive E3 and P2 drives from Invertek. In addition, the integration of the drives with the PLC facilitates the monitoring of the load, output frequency and current, which not only optimizes the operation and saves energy, but also guarantees the safety of the personnel and the quality of the final product.

For Casa Esparza, the collaboration with Sumitomo Drive Technologies has been more than just a purchase of equipment; it has been a strategic alliance that has raised its production standards. Armando Esparza, director and owner of the tequila company, highlights that Sumitomo solutions have simplified and made their operations safer, allowing his team to focus on what they do best: creating tequila. At Sumitomo Drive Technologies we don't just sell products; we offer complete solutions that provide peace of mind and support to our clients in each of their projects.
