ABB launched a severe-duty motor for use within aggregate operations at MINExpo 2024.
According to ABB, the new DP200 Crush+ motor is designed to excel in the harshest environments. The company says the motor raises the standard for performance and durability in crushers and other applications.
“ABB has designed and manufactured the DP200 Crush+ motor to meet or exceed our customers’ needs for energy efficiency and reliability,” says Oscar Palafox, ABB NEMA motors global portfolio product manager. “The modular design offers a high level of flexibility for our customers and makes it easy to upgrade or retrofit existing systems in the field or implement future equipment designs and requirements.”
Built on the company’s SD200, three-phased motor platform, ABB says Crush+ optimizes performance, efficiency and long-term maintenance costs while delivering high starting and breakdown torque. With a power range of 100 to 600 hp, a cast-iron design, Class H insulation and a multi-position conduit box, the company says Crush+ allows for customization to meet diverse operational needs.
A heavy-duty frame, available in NEMA 440 to 580 sizes, ensures Crush+ can endure harsh operating conditions, the company adds, while a high-strength 4140 steel shaft reduces the risk of damage under high-stress loads. Crush+ is safeguarded against dust, water and other contaminants with IP65 ingress protection and non-contact labyrinth seals, ABB adds.
Crush+ is compatible with the ABB Ability smart sensor for digital powertrain monitoring in hazardous environments. ABB says this enables proactive maintenance to maximize safety and efficiency.
The sensor’s durable enclosure withstands vibration, dust and water and is certified for ATEX, IECEx and NEC500 to meet standards for explosive atmospheres.
