ABB announced it is to engineer, deliver and commission the electrical systems to a new tissue production line supplied by Metso to SCA's new factory in Mexico. The delivery includes intelligent control and monitoring systems for power distribution, the new generation intelligent Motor Control Centers, frequency converters and high efficiency motors as well as a complete paper machine sectional drives system.

The delivery includes ABB's most recent application knowledge for the power distribution and motor control technique. The intelligent solution allows a higher degree of control and information transfer between the systems. ABB Process Industry unit from Vaasa, Finland, is responsible for the delivery, which it includes project management, engineering and site services.

"The electrical equipment, that drives the processes, is connected by modern field bus solutions into one functional system. By using the latest new generation products and applications know how the life cycle management and preventive maintenance of the system will be further enhanced", says Area Sales Manager Fredrik Grankull from ABB.

The new line will produce 60,000 tons/yr of high-quality facial, toilet and towel tissue grades. The start-up is planned for summer and autumn 2010 and ABB deliveries are scheduled for the beginning of 2010. The production at the mill, which is situated close to Mexico City, will start at the end of 2010.
