Dear reader,

PerformancePartnerABB´s voice in the pulp & paper industry1 • 2003


The new Direct Drive solution means new technology for paper machines – no more

gearboxes, no more speed encoders, but new permanent magnet motors. New technology

improves significantly the overall efficiency of a paper machine.

“When building or rebuilding a board machine, we always want to take advantage of new

technical innovations”, says Mika Joukio, Mill Manager of M-real Äänekoski Board Finland,

after the successful start-up of their rebuilt board machine. It includes the first Direct Drive

solution ever.

Direct Drive solution opens a new era

In the mid 1990s ABB started to de-

velop a new drive system to increase

reliability and decrease lifecycle costs.

The target was a high torque drive

directly coupled to the indrive of the

paper machine section. The first new generation

drive of this type was installed in Finland in

mid-1999. The machine has been running suc-

cessfully since then. January 2001 saw the sec-

ond start-up using this technology for two paper

machines in another Finnish mill. This system

is also running well. After these successes, ABB

delivered the first full-size Direct Drive solution

to M-real, Äänekoski.

In search of innovative solutionsAt M-real Corporation innovative thinking is

the norm, and not just in technology. Recently

M-real reorganized its board business by rear-

ranging production lines according to the end

use of the board. The production of wallpa-

per base at the Äänekoski mill was ended and

the mill switched to folding boxboard for the

healthcare segment. The decision resulted in

new products, a new production line and a

new customer base.

ABB delivered a Direct Drive solution to M-real at a record pace.


Benefits of the Direct Drive

• Lower plant engineering and installation costs due to fewer mechanical drive components.

• Better paper machine runnability due to the synchronous drive with minimal shaft resonance and no gear play.

• Higher availability of the paper machine due to fewer mechanical components and no pulse encoders.

• Lower maintenance costs as a result of a simpler system with fewer components and spares.

• Lower energy costs due to lower over-all losses.

The Direct Drive system means new technology for paper machines.

The rebuilt board machine started up in September 2002.

Mill Manager Mika Joukio is satisfied with the new Direct Drive system.

The rebuilt board machine started up in

September 2002. The old machine was also

operated with ABB´s drive system.

Machine modification at a record pace“Above all, we expect production efficiency and

lower operating costs from our board machine

throughout its whole lifecycle”, stressed Mika

Joukio, Mill Manager of M-real Äänekoski

Board.

“A major advantage of Direct Drive technol-

ogy is the smaller space requirement for the

motors, which is also a result of the gearless

construction. Our machine hall is not very big

and there is absolutely no extra space available,”

points out Mill Manager Joukio.

Voith Paper supplied the main equipment

for the modernization of the board machine in-

cluding press and drying sections, a new Yankee

cylinder, a size press, three coating stations, a

winder and a ventilation system.

The ABB delivery included a dryer hood, a

Direct Drive system and electrification for the

entire board machine, including all product re-

lated services such as commissioning, start-up

and training.

The board machine was completed at a

world record pace. The old machine was dis-

mantled and rebuilt in eight weeks. A total

of 500 professionals, over 200 of them from

Voith, worked at the machine round the clock.

Thanks to accurate planning and careful work,

the machine started up on schedule.

The target annual capacity of the board machine

is 160,000 tons. The design speed is 800 m /minute

and the board machine has a wire width of

4150 mm.The machine produces high-quality

fully coated bleached paper-board of 170-335

gsm.

Direct Drive raises interestThe Direct Drive system includes 29 perma-

nent magnet motor drives and 72 induction

motor drives. It consists of permanent mag-

net motors controlled by ACS 600 frequency

converters. The software application assures

the paper specifications and safety of the drive

system.

ABB’s permanent magnet motor is synchro-

nous. Because there is no rotor slip it provides

better accuracy than a standard, asynchronous

motor. With a syncronous motor it is simpler

to optimize the speed, while the elimination of

slip compensation improves the dynamic mo-

tor control. The permanent magnets are made

from neodymium iron boron, the newest mag-

netic material on the market.

“The Direct Drive solution does not need

gear boxes. This is another major advantage

resulting in maintenance savings.”

“The new Direct Drive technology from

ABB has raised a lot of interest among paper

markers. We are extremely satisfied,” empha-

sized Mr. Joukio.


ccording to Sami

Pitkänen, Stora Enso’s

project director, the

start-up on PM4 has

been excellent. Within

14 days the machine ran for 48 hours without

a single break and average production was run-

ning at 800-900 tpd.

With a wire width of 11.1 m, PM4 is the

widest paper machine in the world. Valued at

approximately USD 500 millions it is also the

largest single investment that the company has

ever made. On reaching full production in two

years time, PM4 will run at close to 2000 m/

min and have a capacity of 400,000 tpy.

The “Newsline” production line produces

newsprint of 45 g/m2.

ABB supplies solutions“Our decision to use a comprehensive range

of ABB solutions in our Langerbrugge project was based on our good relationship” said Mr.

Pitkänen.

“I am very pleased with operation of the

whole mill and with the role suppliers such

raw material, started at the Langerbrugge

mill in Belgium on May 31st, 2003.

ABB delivered a range of automation,

electrification, drives ventilation,

installation materials and servicies.

as ABB played in completing

the project on time.”

The electrification sup-

ply from ABB included

engineering, supply, instal-

lation and commissioning

of medium voltage switch-

gear, Is-limiter, SCADA-

system, medium and low

voltage motors. The system

consisted of 36 kV GIS

switchgear: 37 cabinets with

REF545 relays, 36 kV power

link 125 MVA, an Is-limiter

1250 A. 6 kV motor control

switchgear: 6 cabinets with REM543 relays, a

MicroScada network control and monitoring

system of the 36 kV and 6 kV networks includ-

ing OPC interface with the distributed control

system, six 6 kV motors, 620 400/690 V and

500 Vmotors.

ABB’s drive system covers the whole pro-

duction line from PM4 to the two winders and

the re-winder. It includes a total of 62 drive

sections. The system runs and controls the

production line via a ControlIT control system

integrated with the automation system. ABB

supervised local sub-contractors during the

installation of the drive systems.

For quality control ABB delivered an

IndustrialIT Web Imaging System and a Quality

Measurement System. The Web Imaging solu-

tion detects and documents both discrete and

continuous paper web faults across the entire

paper web. The system detects a potential dete-

rioration in the production process at an early

stage and therefore guarantees high machine

availability. This means that problems, which

could occur later when printing full color news-

print, are already identified and prevented dur-

ing the paper production process.

Stora Enso´s latest newsprint machine investment started in May at the Langerbrugge mill.

The Web Imaging system is linked to two

ABB Automatic Braking Systems for the wind-

er and re-reeler, increasing their effectiveness

by optimizing the time to located defects for

removing or patching. It is controlled through

OperateIT Process Portal operator stations in-

stalled at the winder and re-reeler.

When the reel is transferred from the pope

reel the operator selects the specific reel data

from the Web Imaging database. By noting

both the location of the defect and the limi-

tations of the specific winder drive the ABS

calculates the optimal speed curve needed to

locate the defect. It then automatically slows

down the drive to either crawl speed or stop at

the precise location of the selected defect.

“Very soon we noticed, that the ABS is really

needed. It helps very much when running the

cutter,” said Pekka Heinonen, project engineer

from Stora Enso responsible for automation.

ABB’s Quality Measurement System is used

for accurate measurement of all sheet param-

eters, providing extra information for greater

and faster control. A consistent surface with a

uniform color is crucial for printability. A mea-

suring frame incorporating traversing sensors

make sure that specified basis weight, moisture

level and color are maintained on PM4.

For Langerbrugge’s PM3 rebuild, ABB also

delivered a Quality Measurement System and a

drive system. PM3 was restarted in December

2002 and a new de-inking unit was started six

weeks ahead of PM4. PM3 and the de-inking

unit served as a very useful test bed for the re-

cycled fiber furnish before it was required for

the new machine.

Installation of the main power distribution

cabling took place in the busiest portion of the

project from February to March 2003. Eighty

technicians from ABB carried it out. They in-

stalled cables, cable trays and bridges amount-

ing to a total of 400 kilometers of cables, and

40 kilometers cable trays. Close to 1000 safety

switches were also delivered. One major instal-

lation included the cable and ducting bridge

that connected the machine halls with the

power plant.

ABB also supplied the ventilation system for

the PM4 machine hall and de-inking plant, in-

cluding the supply and exhaust air ventilation

and local air extraction for the de-inking plant.

In this system soundproof fan units, mounted

on the roof of the machine hall, feeds cool fresh

air down through hollow panels in the wall at

internals along the machine hall and the de-

inking unit. At the main working floor level

each of these panels has a full width section

drilled with hundreds of small holes. Some of

the holes are angled, so that the cool air dis-

perses evenly around the machinery and the

working area without creating a strong draft

of air in one place and nothing in others. This

flow of fresh air but it is not immediately obvi-

ous where it is coming from.

Langerbrugge Mill In 2002 Stora Enso was the fourth largest pro-

ducer of standard and improved newsprint in

the world and the largest in Europe. Although

PM4 has a design capacity of 400,000 tpy the

additional product on the market will not in-

crease by this amount. At the same time as the

PM4 production came to market, Stora Enso

closed a paper machine at Langerbrugge and

switched PM3 (165,000 tpy) from standard

newsprint to SC grades.

According to Mr. Pitkänen, the

Langerbrugge L4 project had some very unique

factors that had to be taken into consideration.

The feasibility study, to a large extent, concen-

trated on the latest technology and the local

requirements. “We had to look carefully at the

logistics surrounding the existing mill in the

middle of the old, tightly populated part of the

town, and had to change its whole structure”.

It meant developing a mill making 350,000 tpy

into one delivering 550,000 tpy of product us-

ing at least 700,000 tpy of raw material. The

new PM4 uses 100 % recovered paper to pro-

duce newsprint. Recovered paper is gathered

from a 300 kilometer area with over 80 million

inhabitants surrounding the mill.

Situated on the west side of the Ghent–

Terneusen canal, Ghent is a major industrial

port, which has direct connection to the North

Sea and Europe’s inland network of canals

and waterways. It has also close connections

to the major European forest industry port of

Antwerp.

“ABB was one of our main suppliers. We

are very pleased with the delivery and with the

operation of the whole mill,” Sami S. Pitkänen,

Director, Stora Enso

Ghent is the diamond of Belgium

The city of Ghent, with its 225,000 inhab-

itants, is enjoying the early morning sun. It

rained all night, but now the clouds are only

a memory. The town has learned how to

combine its long history and traditions with

the latest technology. The seaport of Ghent

also plays an important role in the economy

of the larger metropolitan area.

Only 55 kilometers to the west of

Brussels is the beautiful city of Ghent. Less

well known than the famous Brugge, it is

just as beautiful. The flowers, water and old

medieval monuments are an amazing com-

bination of scenic art and handcraft. On the

other hand, the famous Ghent University

continues its tradition of spreading the lat-

est knowledge to the younger generation.

Belgium’s third largest center has learned

to combine its roots with the latest indus-

try and technology. The seaport dates from

the Middle Ages when wool and corn were

shipped from England to Ghent. After

World War II the area was continuously

expanded and in 1968 a new and larger en-

tranceway was built. This meant the dawn-

ing of a new period for the port. Now vessels

up to 80,000 dwp could navigate the port.

Ghent’s port handles large amounts of paper

products, timber and logs.

In late medieval times, Ghent was the

second largest city of northwest Europe,

just after Paris. Nowadays it is the second

largest city of the region of Flanders and the

third largest center in Belgium. It is the core

city of a metropolitan area with 515,000

inhabitants.

Delicious cuisine Ghent is very famous for its cooking and

traditional dishes. In some of its hundreds

of restaurants the chefs’ work has been re-

warded by the Michelin Star system. Almost

every restaurant serves the Ghent speciali-

ties, which are fish or chicken waterzooi,

hotchpotch, jugged hare or mutton rouge.

The city of flowersGhent is also the flower city of Belgium.

Flower growers from the region sell their

beautiful begonias and azaleas all over the

world. Every 5 years the city of Ghent orga-

nizes the successful Ghent flower show that

attracts thousands of tourists to the city.


Prior to the 1980s much of a

machine’s CD profile was con-

trolled by manually adjusting a

slice lip on a head box. The early

1980s saw the introduction of

actuators that automatically adjusted the slice

lip utilizing early versions of today’s CD con-

trol packages.

In the 1990s papermakers saw major ad-

vancements with the introduction of dilution

control headboxes that provided still further

refinement for sheet profiles by utilizing

dilution flow control across the entire slice

opening (machine width). Dilution control

headboxes for many specialty applications are

now designed to further refine CD Control

by offering even narrower spacing for actua-

tors and increasing the number of actuators

across the slice opening. Many of today’s new

dilution headboxes will have in excess of 200

actuators.

Increasing the number of actuators im-

proves sheet quality and sheet profile, but

presents two unique control challenges to

overcome. CD control for narrow zoned

actuators are more sensitive to mapping mis-

alignment.

Every CD control application needs to

have accurate mapping of the process. Ideally

the actual mapping between the CD actuators

and their corresponding responses on the mea-

sured profile are evenly distributed and stay

constant for all conditions. Then the mapping

can be identified and modeled in the CD con-

trol system.

Cross Direction (CD) control remains one of the key drivers for

today’s paper machine control strategy. The ability to effectively

control and maintain Cross Machine profiles under changing

conditions has come a long way since the early 1980s.

Today’s high performance measurement systems and

headboxes have led to new demands on control systems

and once again ABB has developed a leading edge solution

with its new Local Variability Control.

CD ControlBeyond conventional

Trend of Local Varability Index (LVI)


However, in real world operating conditions

there are many more dynamics that affect map-

ping. Sheet shrinkage is just one variable that is

neither uniform nor constant across the sheet.

Previous CD Control models have addressed

non-linear response models with some success.

Although Dilution headboxes with newly

developed CD controls have overcome most of

these issues and provide a consistent 2-Sigma

trend, some papermakers are beginning to look

at local variability within a profile.

Is there a way to control localized variability within a profile?

Historically, most machine operators would initi-

ate a bump test for several actuators across the sheet

width and determine the actual location of each

response. These bump tests usually yielded good

mapping information. There is however several

drawbacks to bump tests. They can cause produc-

tion disturbances, require operator intervention and

they are unable to adapt to frequent and continuous

mapping variations.

Local Variability (LV) control is designed to

provide optimized performance for existing

CD control packages. The LV optimization

package consists of 2 key functions:

• Profile monitoring

• Mapping optimization

Profile monitoring analyzes local variability,

continuously tracks the trend of localized

variability and quickly locates the regions for

optimization.

Mapping optimization explores the lo-

cal variability and control robustness under

different mapping alignments and selects

the optimal setting for the control system to

maximize both profile uniformity and con-

trol robustness.

Mapping optimization is designed to

achieve the best profile uniformity by dy-

namically adjusting mapping alignment in

the CD control system. The optimization is

started immediately after the local variability

index of any region exceeds a specified limit.

The optimization adjusts mapping alignment

in the identified region.

One of the new key benefits of LV Control

is its ability to perform this optimization

while keeping the closed loop CD control ac-

tive. In contrast most programs identify the

new mapping by performing the bump-test

on manually selected actuators while sus-

pending the close-loop control.

LV control has proven its ability in mills to

eliminate picket fence (Localized Variability)

within 2 Sigma profiles. It maintains CD

closed-loop control during the entire opti-

mization process, and requires no operator

intervention. LV control also reduces pro-

duction upsets that are most often caused

when conventional controls are bumped to

provided data for the system so that mapping

misalignment can be corrected.

New ABB innovation:CD Profile Optimization with Local Variability (LV) control

Information

ABB ControlIT Cross-Direction (CD) Controls are designed in a modular structure and provide engineers with the flexibility to design the right control for the right actuator. Advanced control and optimization algorithms can be configured formodern high-performance actuators, while traditional actuators can be controlled with only primary functions. ABB CD Controls minimize profile variations for all actuators under all operating conditions.


ABB has created lifecycle manage-

ment programs for ABB products

and systems in order to provide

customers with the best pos-

sible return on their assets, and

a smooth transition to new gen-

erations of products. Standardized

service offerings, such as scheduled

preventive maintenance, have been

productized and accommodated to

different lifecycle phases of various

products and systems to maximize

availability and performance. These

programs cover the entire product

or system lifecycle, and are based

on ABB´s extensive experience in

automation and power technology.

Mechanical components in ro-

tating machines, for instance, are

known to have a higher failure

probability after a certain time in

use without proper service. Today,

it is a well-accepted practice to

perform preventive maintenance

on rotating machinery to eliminate

failures, but it is still a common be-

lief that electronic components do

not require maintenance.

Based on ABB´s experience,

however, the failure probability

of many products with electronic

components increases after several

years of operation. For instance,

for electric drives, it is 5-10 years.

The main reason for this is the

aging of some electronic compo-

nents. A failure in these compo-

nents may cause consequential

damage to power semiconductors.

Key to maximized availability and performanceLifecycle management improves product and system availability

Downtime figures between 2001

and 2002 make a good compar-

The failure probability of many products with electronic components increases after several

years of operation. This is why ABB recommends preventive maintenance for electrical products

and systems throughout their lifecycle.

This is why ABB recommends pre-

ventive maintenance for products

and systems at a specified point in

their lifecycle to ensure maximum

asset utilization.

Systematic product lifecycle

management is one of the cor-

nerstones of mill asset utilization.

Abitibi-Consolidated chooses ABB for color coating kitchen system

ABB announced that it has secured a multimillion dollar contract to

provide Abitibi-Consolidated Inc.´s Alma Division in Alma, Québec

with a coating kitchen system, as part of its project to convert PM14

to produce Equal OffsetTM paper. ABB´s scope of supply includes the

design, installation supervision and commissioning of a complete ABB

coating color kitchen, wet-end additives, final station and process

equipment.

The management of mechanical

pulp production has an increas-

ing role in the quality and cost

optimization of paper produc-

tion. Rising energy costs and

extensive electricity price fluctua-

tions require accurate planning

of pulp production runs and

maximum utilization of produc-

tion capacity.

The importance of reducing

specific energy consumption

and making good use of elec-

tricity market price variations is

increasing.

ABB’s new mechanical pulp

production management system

integrates pulp production into

the total mill production chain

management and provides the

tools to improve quality and cost

efficiency in pulp production.

The system integrates the

planning processes at the mill

and provides material balance

forecasts in real time, allowing

the comparison of the costs and

other effects of different operat-

ing scenarios.

New Solution brief

Mechanical Pulp Production Management

Users can simulate various sce-

narios and production runs, and

the system calculates the pulp

and water stock levels, electricity

consumption and cost, and steam

balance starting from the current

situation. The system helps detect

problems in advance and gives us-

ers the time to carry out any cor-

rective actions required.

The Meachanical Pulp Pro-

duction Management solution

offers important benefits and

helps users make the right de-

cisions.

Hawkesbury, Nova Scotia.

The delivery of the 38 MW (51,000 hp) color four-pole synchronous

motor, with associated starting equipment, is scheduled for the end of

2003. The motor will drive a Metso CD 82 primary refiner on the new

Line 3 at the Port Hawkesbury mill.

The two new 32 MW motors will also be installed in the primary stage

of the existing refiner lines later this year replacing the existing ones.
