SAEL, at GIACOSA PAPERMILL will provide the complete drive’s and automation control system DCS, for PM2.

Giacosa Papermill in collaboration with SAEL, in the coming months is preparing a large investment on its paper machine N°2. The investment concerns the rebuilding from ANDRITZ: wet part with new headbox and approach flow, looking to increase quality of the paper and efficiency of the machine.

The new nominal power of the sectional drive that will change, have consequently led the paper mill to the remaking of the drives and of the machine control DCS in drive SAEL. Dr. Marco Roscio – CEO of Giacosa Papermill, decided to change not only the drive and automation system of the Board machine – but also their mentality – choosing SAEL to be the supplier.

“With our philosophy, we want to give to the customer the ONE and only solution for all their challenges, saving time and money but also providing no less than the most updated and revolutionary technology existing in the market,” said Palo Andrighetti of SAEL.

The SAEL scope of this project is to provide to Giacosa Papermill, the new cabinets of AC drives and the DCS. Platform ONE drives and a complete DCS Scalink to manage the board machine, is the best way and to reduce the costs of spare parts, faults and substitution timing. With Platform ONE drives, Giacosa Papermill will have the possibility to keep only ONE electronic card as a spare part. The old electrical cabinets will be completely removed, creating a new long life, completely digital drive and automation system to last.

With the new DCS Scalink, with two 22 inch screens installed in 3 different engineering stations – with redundancy system integrate- inside the paper mill, will be able to have in hand the complete machine, and to control their production in a perfect way. Above to that, new control desks will be distributed along the board machine, in order to give a completely new prospect and dynamic to the operators of the paper mill, having the possibility to control in an absolute way the complete process, from the formation of the paper to the Pope reel.

In the future it is also possible to include in the DCS Scalink, other existing PLC around the paper mill’s process, such as stock preparation, vacuum pumps, energy control, REDI (Collection, Processing and Factory Data Storage), Big data, Data mining, etc. In this way we give to the paper mill the possibility to gather all in one system and perform in the best possible way.
