• The C-Type range from Mecc Alte will reimagine the heart of power delivery
for OEMs with compact, accessible and highly configurable alternator power
technology
• The leading independent producer of alternators will launch its C-Type
series as it looks set to redefine standards
Mecc Alte will unveil its next generation of alternators, the C-Type range,
at this year’s Middle East Electricity taking place on 6th-8th March, in
Dubai.
These latest products are part of the company’s pioneering vision and
journey to reimagine and set new standards in alternator capabilities.
The C-Type series promises to offer more features and value-added
performance benefits across its three core product lines with six to eight
models in each, producing between 7.5kVA to 165kVA 50Hz and 9.3kVA to 200kVA
in 60Hz.
Taking cues from its 70-year Italian design heritage and harnessing customer
feedback, Mecc Alte has reengineered every aspect of the alternator to
create a range of highly configurable, compact and lighter products with
efficient cooling and improved accessibility.
The innovative ‘plug and power’ design of the C-Type enables efficient
connectivity with easy assembly, fast-link connection, integration and
configuration for OEMs to keep production costs low, without compromising on
power.
The in-house design team stripped back the alternator from the ground-up and
focused on introducing a new set of design and alternator performance
protocols.
Mr Mario Carraro Director from Mecc Alte said: “Power equipment
manufacturers usually introduce small changes and improvements to their
products over time. As an independent company we are more agile and respond
to market needs for compact and more diverse power components more quickly.
“The alternator is the beating heart of any power unit and the C-Type range
has been designed to reflect changes in future technology and design. The
time was right for us to refresh our thinking, focusing on regeneration and
not evolution of our products.”
The new range has taken over 12 months to develop from concept through to
production, creating a highly durable, advanced technological and engineered
design.
New features include specialist AVR access panels using a flip hinge for
simple, safe and rapid adjustment, whilst the panel itself has been
repositioned to reduce potential access problems by obstructive engine parts
or brackets. This and other intelligent features will save time in
production- keeping costs and stocks to a minimum and more efficient
production schedules.
The new ergonomic casings of the C-Type range also include digital regulator
protection to manage circuits and functionality.
Alarm sensors are also integrated and operators have clear visibility to
alternator performance with connection through an interface.
The AVR dashboard reports provide real time and historical performance
metrics to preserve the health of the alternator and can store data for up
to 100 years.
Across the full C-Type range, Mecc Alte designers have ensured that every
feature and element have a purpose.
A redesigned fan with fluid cooling technology provides more efficient
temperature control over longer periods; whilst the aluminium brackets and
reduced length improve strength to weight ratio. This makes the C-Type
compact and provides cost effective transportation and enables OEM’s to
minimise canopy/base frame size and costs.
Improved connectivity is delivered via 12 leads fitted as standard, and an
innovative terminal board arrangement with fast-link reconnection, that
allows rapid reconnection for a multitude of voltages and a flexible stock.
With 70 years in alternator manufacturing Mr Carraro who is third generation
of this family owned company reflects: “The intrinsic detailing and key
design features of the C-Type range have produced a next generation range of
alternators with value added benefits and ultimate peace of mind for our
customers,” concludes Mr Mario Carraro.
