- ABB’s IEC Low voltage Roller table motors are now available at pace in response to increasing demand
- The motors, designed specifically for the steel industry’s rolling mills, have up to 20-year lifespan and have been shown to slash operating costs at mills around the world
- The global steel industry is facing rising costs and tighter environmental regulations, making operational efficiency key to staying competitive
ABB has strengthened its Roller table motor offering, increasing availability in response to growing demand. The motors, designed specifically for the hot and corrosive environment of steel mills, are paired with ABB variable speed drives (VSD), allowing for intense and dynamic workloads while minimizing downtime and operational costs.
ABB’s Roller table motors have a long lifespan thanks to the product’s shock-proof, temperature-resistant shell that repels both dust and moisture, as well as ABB’s world-leading quality and reliability performance testing.
Peter-Stefan Tampsi, Segment Manager at ABB IEC Low voltage motors, says, “The steel industry operates under intense and very demanding conditions, both in terms of the manufacturing process and the market. The robustness of the Roller table motor perfectly paired with ABB VSD can play a major role in competitiveness and profitability.”
ABB’s Roller table motors are purpose-built to meet the steel industry's need for increased efficiency and reliability. The product’s dimensions, arrangements, and power ratings are fully customisable and can be installed with minimal disruption. Even at older mills which haven’t had an infrastructure upgrade in decades, installation is seamless.
Peter-Stefan Tampsi continues, “A joined-up approach to motor and VSD selection is key to streamlining the wider upgrade of the global steel industry. More than ever, we’re aiming to be a one-stop shop for the industry, and our Roller table motors are now available at pace.”
ABB itself has over 30 years of experience providing Roller table motors to the steel industry and operates in more than 100 countries around the world, giving the company unique insight and experience into the common and unique challenges in each region.
