ABB has won Supplier of the Year at the Pump Industry Awards for the fifth time.
The TATA Steel plant at Shotton has eliminated cut downtime on its steel slitting line by about five days a year following installation of an ABB variable speed drives (VSD) system.
A quick response from an ABB authorised value provider ensured that Anglian Water avoided the risk of a sewage leak by loaning a variable speed drive (VSD) at one of its pumping stations.
The performance and safety of industrial ovens at Acrivarn in Leeds has improved following installation of an ABB variable speed drive on the motor controlling the ovens’ turntable function.
ABB’s FPD350 Torbar self-averaging pitot tube offers a low cost, easy to install solution for measurement of gases, liquids and steam.
For many, planned downtime is a critical part of the production cycle, allowing engineers to assess the status of equipment and ensure it is fully functional and make planned repairs and upgrades. This process has traditionally been something of a bugbear. However, smart technologies mean things are changing. Here, Robert Glass of ABB suggests how plant managers can make the most of downtime
ABB has expanded its level measurement portfolio with the addition of the LLT100 laser level transmitter. Designed for industrial applications and harsh environments, the LLT100 enables precise measurement of any solid or liquid surface, including clear liquids from -40 to 60°C (-40 to 140°F), or up to 280°C (535°F) with a cooling tube.
