Driving the performance and efficiency of paper productions to the max
The paper industry is facing challenges that could not be more contradictory. While investment budgets are under constant pressure, customers all over the world are demanding product quality that's virtually impossible to achieve using outdated technology. At the same time, continuously growing expenses for energy and raw materials are dramatically increasing cost pressures, while the competition is getting more and more aggressive. To master these challenges, we've developed innovative drive solutions for paper mills, finishing machines, slitter winders, and rewinders: SIPAPER Drives APL and SIPAPER Winder APL simplify operations, optimize diagnostic capabilities, meet the highest safety standards, maximize efficiency, and minimize maintenance costs.
If the product quality demanded in international competition can't be achieved with existing technologies, budgets are under cost pressure, and the cost of energy and raw materials are increasing, there's only one solution that makes sense: increase system performance with specific investments in your control technology and in modern, energy-efficient drive technology.
Achieving consistent paper quality with continuously increasing throughput and a greater diversity of grades are central challenges for the pulp and paper industry. To meet these challenges, the functional modules of the Advanced Process Library of SIPAPER Drives APL offer open-ended, modular drive solutions. The range of applications of SIPAPER Drives APL extends from partial modernization to complete turnkey solutions. Whether it’s through improved automation on the basis of SIMATIC PCS 7 or by using more energy-efficient SINAMICS drives – with SIPAPER Drives APL, you can bring your plants up to peak performance. And if your primary goal is to improve the energy efficiency of your plant, SIPAPER Drives APL – with gearless drives coupled directly to the machine – provides you with a solution that also minimizes maintenance costs.
SIPAPER Winder APL is an intelligent, modular solution that offers you the opportunity to bring your finishing machines and reel slitters up to peak performance and efficiency. Thanks to highly developed technologies, the modular system offers you maximum flexibility with everything from partial modernization to complete turnkey solutions, from simple rewinders to complex reel slitters and from long-serving, proven winders to high-end machines of the latest generation.
The fiber industry involves extremely complex workflows, and the drive technology can't afford to have any weak points. The utmost emphasis is placed on minimizing potential risks for humans, plants, and the environment using technical resources, with no negative impacts on the production process. That's why safety is an essential aspect of drive systems. Our solution for the safety of your drive: SIPAPER Safety Integrated.
With our SIPAPER solutions we help to ensure success in the pulp and paper industry – worldwide.
