ABB’s drives and motors swappage scheme allows companies to trade in their old drives and motors from any manufacturer for new ones from ABB. The scheme offers at least 17.5 per cent discount off published list prices for new drives from 0.12 kW to 400 kW and new motors from 0.75 kW to 710 kW when old equivalent products are traded in.
“The scheme originally launched to coincide with the introduction of the government’s CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme has taken on new importance with the introduction of the EU MEPS legislation for minimum efficiency levels of low voltage motors. It aims to give organisations an additional incentive to meet their carbon dioxide reduction commitment and reduce their energy consumption,” said Steve Ruddell, head of global marketing – motors and generators at ABB.
Organisations taking advantage of the swappage scheme will benefit from improved energy efficiency and reduced maintenance downtime, helping lower costs after the new equipment is installed.
ABB is offering a free, no obligation energy appraisal of motor-driven applications across a building, plant or process that can reveal significant ways to reduce energy costs.
“To avoid downtime towards the end of the product’s life, our energy appraisal identifies the older drives, gives advice on installation and recommends a drive replacement programme,” said Ruddell.
Also available is an assessment of a plant’s installed motors, called MotorAdvantage, aimed at companies operating a continuous process and can assess the end-users current policy in the event of a motor failure.
