Clogged pumps can mean very expensive repairs. Few people outside the wastewater industry give a second thought to what happens to the volumes of wastewater produced daily. We also have a serious flushable wipe problem. Yes, wipes may be flushable, but what happens after they’re flushed? Clogs. And these clogs are both expensive and dangerous to fix. ABB and their expert partners have seen quite a lot of clogs and fully understand that it is essential that wastewater flow does not stop.

ABB’s ACQ580, with integral pump cleaning, can easily handle these clogs. A pump cleaning function provided by the drives has especially improved operations by reducing the need for manual cleaning. In addition to reduced downtime and lower manual cleaning costs, this brings lower pump running costs due to average higher pump efficiency. They can keep your process flowing, remove the burden of pulling pumps and reduce the maintenance cost. These drives are also designed to make commissioning and set-up, operation and access to valuable data easy!
