Livestock Industry

The livestock industry includes raising and maintaining animals for the production and consumption of milk, eggs and meat. KB Electronics has supported the livestock and farming industry for many years. Our motor drives are ideal for numerous agriculture applications requiring ventilation and exhaust fans, as well as pumping water for irrigation and waste management, among many others.

Another common aspect of the livestock industry is livestock farming, which includes animals raised for recreational activities (such as racing or riding) in addition to animals used for performing heavy labor. Horse walkers, machines used for training and exercise of horses, are an excellent application for KB drivesr for irrigation, and waste management. The Livestock Industry also pertains to animals raised for recreational activities such as racing or riding. Training "horse walkers," for example, use KB Drives.

KB AC drives are available in NEMA 4X / IP65 enclosures, which make them ideal for either indoor or outdoor use, and are washdown and watertight for durability and long-term use. The available liquidtight fittings kit provides added protection for sealing wire and cable egresses. KB's NEMA 4X / IP65 drives are also available with UV protected labels and a white FDA-approved finish.

All our motor controls are off-the-shelf and ready-to-use, out-of-the-box drives that are available through our worldwide distribution centers.
