ABB launch drives and motors swappage scheme
ABB have launched a drives and motors swappage scheme, allowing companies to trade in their old products from any manufacturer for new ABB drives and motors.
The scheme offers at least 17.5% discount off published list prices for new drives from 0.12kW to 400kW and new motors from 0.75kW to 710kW when old equivalent products from any manufacturer are traded in.
‘The scheme has been launched to coincide with the recent introduction of the government’s CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme and aims to give organizations an additional incentive to meet their carbon dioxide reduction commitment,’ said Steve Ruddell, division manager for ABB’s discrete automation and motion business.
‘Organizations that take advantage of the swappage scheme will also benefit from improved energy efficiency and reduced maintenance downtime, helping to lower costs after the new equipment is installed.’
In addition, ABB partners will also help organizations meet the cost of investment in new equipment by offering help and advice with interest-free loan applications and Enhanced Capital Allowances through the Carbon Trust.
According to ABB, the scheme addresses a market for replacement drives that continues to grow. In 2010 it is expected that 40% of all new drive purchases will be replacing existing drives.
‘Users can also reap a number of other benefits from renewing their drives,’ continued Mr Ruddell. ‘The higher efficiency of new drives instantly saves money, as the losses are reduced by at least 10%. Furthermore, reduced size saves plant room space, lower component count improves reliability and more up-to-date technology means additional features, such as enhanced energy savings and improved communications capabilities.’
In order to get the correct drive or motor to match the needs of individual installations, ABB are offering a free, no-obligation energy appraisal.
