Beiton Tecnología S.A. is the authorized Danfoss distributor in Panama. We supply the complete variable frequency drive (VFD) line — iC2-Micro, VLT, iC7 and VACON — from local stock, with in-house engineering, installation and the country's only certified DrivePro service.
Local stock in Panama for the most common power ratings
Technical sizing at no charge
Factory warranty + DrivePro service
Danfoss equivalents for obsolete VFDs of any brand
If you recognize one or more of these symptoms in your plant, there is a measurable, fixable root cause. We identify it in a single site visit.
01
Direct-on-line starts that wear out the motor
Starting current 6–8× the rated value damages windings, couplings and gearboxes. A VFD starts the motor gently and multiplies its service life.
02
High electricity bills in pumping and HVAC
Without a VFD, throttling flow with valves wastes 40%+ of the energy. The savings pay for the drive in 12–24 months.
03
Obsolete drive with no spare parts
VFDs more than 10 years old often no longer have manufacturer support. When they fail, downtime is long and expensive. Migrating to Danfoss solves it.
// What you get
How we help you
Concrete services, not generic ones. Every item comes with verifiable scope and documented deliverables.
01
Technical sizing at no charge
We don't sell you a catalog number: we analyze your load (constant or variable torque, duty cycle), the Panamanian grid voltage (480V/3 60Hz or 230V), altitude, ambient temperature and harmonics. You get the correct type code, not an oversized one you pay extra for.
02
Local stock in Panama
The highest-turnover ratings (iC2-Micro and VLT AQUA up to ~45 kW) are in our warehouse in Panama City. No waiting 8–12 weeks for an import: you start your project when you need to.
03
Certified installation and commissioning
Electrical installation to code, application-specific parameter setup, functional testing and documentation. Danfoss-certified technicians running MCT-10 diagnostics, not general electricians.
04
Factory warranty + DrivePro service
Genuine product with a factory warranty backed locally. Behind it, the 6 DrivePro lines: Exchange, Retrofit, Preventive Maintenance, Spare Parts, Remote Monitoring and Site Assessment — we are the country's only certified provider.
05
Measurable energy efficiency
In pumping and HVAC, typical savings are 20–40% versus direct-on-line starting or valve control. We calculate the return on investment with your real operating profile before you buy.
06
Nationwide coverage
We serve the entire country: Panama City, Colón, Chiriquí, Coclé, Herrera, Los Santos, Veraguas and the industrial and port areas. On-site and remote support.
Every step hands something concrete to the next one. No "internal phases" without an output.
01
Tell us about your application
Send us power, voltage and load type (pump, fan, conveyor, compressor) — or simply the motor nameplate or the type code of the drive being replaced. Through the website, email or WhatsApp.
02
Selection and quote in 24 business hours
An engineer sizes the right drive, defines the options (braking, RFI and harmonic filters, IP rating, conformal coating for humid or saline environments) and quotes it with a real lead time.
03
Supply
If it is in local stock in Panama, we ship immediately. If it is a special rating or a marine/AFE application, direct factory import with weekly status tracking.
04
Installation and parameter setup
Mounting, wiring and on-site parameter setup for your process. Documented functional testing and fine-tuning under real load.
05
Training and ongoing support
We train your maintenance team in operation and basic troubleshooting, in Spanish. After that, DrivePro backing for the whole life cycle of the equipment.
// Frequently asked questions
What we get asked most
Quick answers to the questions technical teams in Panama ask us most often.
Q01 Which Danfoss VFD is best for water pumping in Panama?
For centrifugal pumping, lift stations and water treatment we recommend the VLT AQUA Drive FC-202 — it has dedicated functions (sleep mode, dry pump detection, soft pipe fill, cascade control) that save 20-40% energy versus direct-on-line starting. We stock the most common power ratings (5.5 kW to 132 kW).
Q02 How much does a Danfoss VFD cost in Panama?
It depends on power, voltage, options (braking, RFI filters, IP rating, coating) and accessories. To give you a real price we need to know your application. A 1.5 kW 230V iC2-Micro is in the hundreds; a 45 kW 480V VLT AQUA is in the thousands. Send us your type code or motor nameplate and we will quote you in less than 24 business hours.
Q03 Do you keep genuine Danfoss spare parts in local stock?
Yes. As the authorized representative we handle genuine spare parts: fans, capacitors, control cards, LCPs and module power stacks. High-turnover parts are in stock in Panama; special items are imported through DrivePro Spare Parts with a committed delivery SLA.
Q04 What is a variable frequency drive and what is it for?
A VFD (variable frequency drive) is an electronic device that controls the speed of an electric motor by adjusting the supply frequency. It is used for: soft starting (avoids current peaks), energy savings (matches speed to actual demand), precise process control (pumps, fans, conveyors) and motor protection (overload, phase failure).
Q05 Do you handle installation and commissioning of the drive?
Yes. Full service: technical selection (correct sizing for your load), electrical installation to code, parameter setup for your application, functional testing and documentation handover. It includes basic training for your maintenance team, delivered in Spanish.
Q06 Do you offer Danfoss equivalents for drives from other brands?
Yes. If you have an obsolete VFD (ABB, Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Yaskawa, etc.) we propose the equivalent Danfoss unit with migration engineering: panel adaptation if the footprint changes, parameter replication, FAT testing and commissioning in short windows. We have migrated fleets of 40+ VFDs with no production shutdown.
Share your power rating, voltage and application — we will propose the right drive with price, lead time and service options in less than 24 business hours.
