IronHorse Drives

The industry's best Beam Pump & PC Pump variable frequency drive solutions. SPOC Automation has the most advanced technology and most reliable beam pump drive solution on the market today. Skeptical? Let us prove it.

We knew that promises of increased production and lower costs would be met with skepticism. During the development of our drive and pump off control products, that was an objective and we achieved success. We have more drives installed and running on beam pumps “successfully” than anyone in our area of artificial lift. Our customers range from small independents to some of the biggest names in the Oil and Gas Industry. SPOC Automation's IronHorse series of variable frequency drives with Sensorless Pump Off Control work. It's working on thousands of wells around the world delivering the following benefits every day:

IronHorse Drives Increase Oil and Gas Production

  • Automatically adjusts pump strokes to match the pump with each well's productivity
  • Adjusts speed to accommodate changing well conditions
  • Pumps at maximum oil flow
  • Reduces pump off condition
  • Reduces down time
  • Reduces mechanical stress on the system, thus reducing parted rods, belt breaks, broken gear teeth and more
  • The industry’s best protection features for the two major killers of electronics in harsh environment applications: heat and transient voltage surges

IronHorse Drives Reduce Energy and Operating Costs

  • Eliminates dynamic braking choppers and resistors
  • Reduces mechanical wear; less down time and cost for repair
  • Slows operating speeds to reduce energy demands
  • Reduces energy consumption
  • Improves power factor
  • Never pulls more amps than the name plate amps of the motor, which reduces inrush and peak demand charges

IronHorse Drives Lower Installation Costs

  • NEMA D motors can be replaced with more efficient and less expensive NEMA B motors on beam pump applications
  • Motors can be downsized due to more efficient operating and soft starting
  • Potential to reduce your transformer size and cabling
  • Single phase to three phase conversion applications do not require “failure prone” phase converters
  • SPOC (Sensorless Pump Off Controller) installs in less than 25% of the time required for traditional POC
  • Less points of failure than any other drive and pump off control product combination
  • No more load cells, prox switches, moving cables or extra wires to run down the beam pump. No additional enclosures and no hard to understand or meaningless data.

One Drive, One Pump Off Controller, One Vendor, Any Artificial Lift Method:

  • Beam Pumps
  • Electric Submersible Pumps
  • Progressive Cavity Pumps
