At MINExpo 2024 this week, ABB launched its NEMA Motors DP200 Crush+ severe-duty motor.
Designed to excel in the harshest environments, this advanced motor solution is designed to raise the standard for performance and durability in crushers and other critical applications.
“ABB has designed and manufactured the DP200 Crush+ motor to meet or exceed our customers’ needs for energy efficiency and reliability,” said 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 ABB’s trusted SD200, three-phased motor platform, Crush+ optimizes performance, efficiency and long-term maintenance costs while delivering high starting and breakdown torque. With a power range of 100 to 600 horsepower, a robust, cast-iron design, Class H insulation and a multi-position conduit box, Crush+ allows for customization to meet diverse operational needs. ABB’s solutions are engineered to meet the highest industry standards, including IEEE 841, API661 and NEMA Super Premium efficiency.
The heavy-duty frame, available in NEMA 440 to 580 sizes, ensures Crush+ can endure harsh operating conditions, while its high-strength 4140 steel shaft reduces the risk of damage under high-stress loads. Crush+ is safeguarded against dust, water and other contaminants with its IP65 ingress protection and non-contact labyrinth seals.
Its flexible and oversized conduit box allows for adjustable positioning and mounting options to simplify installation. With 4- and 6-pole options and compatibility with 460V and 575V at 60Hz (with custom options for 50Hz), Crush+ is versatile for use across multiple regions.
Crush+ is compatible with the ABB Ability Smart Sensor for digital powertrain monitoring in hazardous environments, transforming motors into smart, wireless devices. 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 the strictest standards for explosive atmospheres.
Full Class H insulation and Division 2 hazardous location certifications further guarantee safe operation in environments with flammable gases or combustible dust, making it a confident choice for hazardous industrial settings.
