SAEL rebuilt the sheeter at Pirinoli papermill: supplies and start up of the new electrical drive and automation

Sael successfully rebuilt the sheeter at Pirinoli papermill. Sael has been engaged by the customer to rebuild the automation of its old machine. Besides the long-term availability of the spare parts, this retrofit offered a powerful diagnostic tool, very helpful and easy to manage for the machine operators. Thanks to the screenplay messages and the open-source software project, the people are fully supported. With a more user-friendly approach, all the automatization functions have been optimized offering an easier and comfortable use of the tools, as much as the flexibility for further implementations and upgrades. The relevant part of this revamping can be summarized as following:

– Replacement of the entire automation systems.

– New machine management by a standard S7 1500 PLC and integration of all the technological functions – the heart of the sheeter.

– Phoenix I/O remote modules replacement (obsolete) with new standard ET200SP Plc.

– Replacement of the supervisor system using Siemens Touch-screen operator panels.

– A new machine drive automation fully integrated with the Paper Mill’s network, fulfilling the 4.0 Industry rules.

– Supply of  SAEL Inverters, supply and replacement of the A.C. motors for the new sheeter drive, originally in D.C. technology.

The job was done in twenty days: from the switch off to the machine restart. The management – Silvano Carletto, applauds the high efficiency rate achieved, the quality and the professionality of the Sael team.
