Supply failure as a practical case – time for reliable energy self-sufficiency
The recent grid failures in Spain and Portugal were not theoretical – they affected millions of people and infrastructure, from midday to midnight. While politicians and energy suppliers debate the causes and consequences, one question remains central for agricultural businesses, technical emergency organizations and municipal facilities: How do I secure the power supply when the grids fail?
MOLL-MOTOR offers two proven answers to this question.
1. PTO generators – self-supply based on existing machines
The PTO generator is a particularly economical solution for tractor owners. The generator uses the mechanical power of the tractor’s PTO shaft to keep pumps, milking technology, cooling units or light supply ready for operation in the event of a power failure – without any integrated combustion engine or battery technology.
- Power adapted to existing tractor capacity
- No additional high-maintenance device – ideal for seasonal standby operation
- Also as a quick interim solution for planned network maintenance or regional outages
This solution is not only aimed at traditional agriculture, but also at horticultural businesses, rural workshops or smaller water associations.
2. Fire department gensets – stationary diesel supply for emergencies
MOLL-MOTOR has developed its own diesel generator set for fire departments and technical emergency services, which is specifically geared towards operational realities:
- Soundproofed, weatherproof housing (RAL3000) – ready for use even in heavy rain and night-time operation in residential areas
- Switchable cooling water preheating for frost-free starts down to -25 °C
- Manual or remote start function via control module (DSE6110) – can also be activated remotely
- Various operating modules for domestic and field operation (TN/IT) with clear switching
- IP45 protection as standard, IP56 optional for harsh environments
Configured power ratings of 45 kVA and 60 kVA also cover more extensive application scenarios such as flood pumps, mobile control centers or emergency power supply for public buildings.
Special feature: Many of the operating elements – from the interior lighting and lettering to the fuel gauge – were developed in-house at MOLL-MOTOR based on the experience of active fire department personnel.
Availability instead of uncertainty
Don’t deal with the topic of energy self-sufficiency out of fear, but contact MOLL-MOTOR for long-term solutions. Because power failures are no longer a mind game – but a recurring phenomenon in an increasingly complex supply environment. Whether it’s a farm, business or operations center – a locally usable power source creates independence, predictability and room for maneuver. MOLL-MOTOR offers practical products tailored to different areas of application in the event of a blackout – robust, low-maintenance and developed in Austria. If you want to be prepared, you should opt for this reliable technology.
