ABB has introduced a series of lunchtime CPD training in water systems courses. The certified System Efficiency training courses focus on improving the electrical efficiency of pump systems and save up to 20 percent in energy costs. The Lunch ‘n’ Learn CPD training sessions are part of ABB’s 20+20 vision for improving customer outcomes […]
ABB ACS 580 improving productivity of old machine Retrofitting two twenty-year-old production machines with ABB variable speed drives (VSDs) and motors improved productivity and efficiency by reducing stoppages. In addition it enhanced the quality control of the finished product. Samuel Taylor produces precision metallic components for the aerospace and automotive industries at its […]
University demonstrates massive energy savings still available by installing VSDs. Despite being promoted for energy saving for over thirty years, huge opportunities still exist for retrofitting inverter drives in building services. In a recent example, installing ABB drives at the university of Leeds reduced carbon emissions by over 809 tonnes p.a. and […]
Installing ABB drives and controls at a problematic biomass steam generating plan in Brazil has resulted in improved productivity, higher sales and lower energy costs. The Brazil plant produces saturated steam in two low pressure boilers. However, the outdated controls were inefficient and prone to frequent disruption and downtime, resulting in lost revenue. The […]
Reducing downtime Preventative maintenance is a cost for manufacturers and tends to be ignored if the benefits are not recognised. To address this, ABB Drives operates a supported preventative maintenance programme for its ACS880 VSDs that is more cost-effective than sourcing spares in an emergency or general repair job. Installed drives […]
