ABB Showcases Motor Solutions for the Aggregate Industry at World of Asphalt/AGG1
At their booth, ABB featured motor solutions from multiple lines within their portfolio. Prominently highlighted was the ECR580 series of Crusher Duty motors. This product combines the best of IEC features into a high-horsepower, high-torque, low voltage, NEMA-dimensioned package. IP66 enclosure is standard to protect against the dust and water inherent to aggregate environments. Additional engineering was dedicated to mitigating vibration and withstanding shockloads. This unique approach, along with the extensive network of ABB District Offices throughout North America, allows operators to quickly source rugged and reliable drop-in replacements when needed to bring a plant back on-line. Baldor-Reliance branded Crusher Duty motors were also featured heavily in the ABB booth, showcasing the company’s long-standing legacy within the aggregate industry and their commitment to manufacturing in the United States. ABB NEMA’s line of DP200 Crush+ motors were another highlight. These motors exceed demands for reliability and safety in the harshest environments, raising the standard for motors used in crushers and other quarry, mining, and aggregate applications. Engineered with the user in mind, Crush+ delivers high starting and breakdown torque alongside unmatched flexibility and design modularity. Built upon the proven SD200 motor platform, its rugged and reliable design optimizes performance, efficiency, and total cost of ownership (TCO). SP4 motors are now available with Severe Duty enclosures to withstand the rigors of aggregate applications. The development of the new cast-iron totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) severe duty motor marks the second phase of ABB’s SP4 technology launch This model is uniquely designed for applications in hazardous areas with explosive gases and combustible dust. ABB previously introduced two different models with SP4 technology: rolled steel open drip proof and totally enclosed fan cooled motors. The SP4 product line builds on the simplicity of ABB’s proven AC induction motors. These motors are compatible with pumps, fans, compressors and conveyors and are ideal for all industries. The new cast-iron motors cover a power range of 25 to 300 horsepower, and the rolled steel models, which were launched earlier, are available in ¼ to 20 hp. ABB is a technology leader in electrification and automation, enabling a more sustainable and resource-efficient future. The company's solutions connect engineering know-how and software to optimize how things are manufactured, moved, powered, and operated. Building on more than 140 years of excellence, ABB's more than 105,000 employees are committed to driving innovations that accelerate industrial transformation.

Energy efficiency was a hot topic throughout the expo, with companies looking to reduce CO2 emissions through conversion from diesel to electric power or by improving the efficiency of existing motors. This can significantly impact the bottom line, considering the upfront purchase price of a motor is generally only about 2% of its lifetime operating cost. The vast majority of the TCO comes from the energy used to run the motor. With higher efficiency IE3 and IE4 motors, such as the ECR580 and the SP4 from Baldor-Reliance, the opportunity to reduce power consumption can often result in a shortened payback time.
