Enhanced operations at Iggesund Paperboard with ABB’s Ability System 800xA drives and quality control solutions.

The tech company ABB is leading the major installation of new drives, control systems and quality control solutions (QCS) for Iggesund Paperboard in Sweden, driving increased safety, higher availability and more stable operations for the board mill.

ABB will deliver comprehensive maintenance and upgrade projects in several stages during 2021 with total supplier responsibility for Iggesund’s two board machines, which are part of one of the world’s most advanced, fully-integrated pulp and board mills. The machines produce premium quality boards for consumers and customised luxury packaging as well as safe, durable medical packaging.

The strategy minimises the impact on daily operations to the lowest possible downtime on each machine. ABB has created an evolution path to ensure that older Smart Platform system architecture is replaced by the latest Network Platform technology in the most straightforward, cost-efficient way.
