Rigorous testing at a hygiene laboratory verifies that ABB’s Food Safe stainless-steel motors can withstand frequent sanitation. The motors emerged in full working order after being subjected to tests simulating years of operation in harsh washdown environments.

New AXW 315 and 400 IEC water-cooled motors deliver an average of 40 percent more power over conventional fan cooled designs. Constant cooling extends insulation and bearing life for increased uptime.

Customers can increase their energy efficiency, improve sustainability and enhance reliability by upgrading to ABB IE5 ultra-premium SynRM motors.

Modern variable speed drives (VSDs) are packed full of safety features. But the sheer number of similar sounding functions and acronyms mean that they can be overlooked, leading to missed opportunities to improve functional safety. ABB’s Martin Richardson, explains.

ABB has expanded its all-compatible drives offering to include the ACS6080 medium voltage (MV) drive for critical applications. The new drive introduces a breakthrough control technology, developed by ABB, that brings high performance motor control to demanding processes used in industries such as mining, metals and marine. The drive also enables plants to operate more efficiently and produce higher quality output.

Users of low voltage variable speed drives (VSD) can now keep processes running, test new applications or prove predicted energy savings before purchase, through a leasing programme provided by the ABB authorised value provider network.

Andy Preston, UK drives product manager at ABB explains how to tap into the hidden cost benefits of using today’s digital variable speed drives.

ABB provides motors and drive for revolutionary machine that will automate the demining process, making it faster and safer.
