Tullis Russell selects ABB Automation for quality control systems

 
 


ABB Automation's latest software innovations which add new dimensions to process quality control, form an integral part of the ABB AccuRay Nexus QCS (quality control system) supplied to Tullis Russell Papermakers at its Markinch, Glenrothes mill in Scotland.

Tullis Russell Ð Europe's largest employee-owned independent paper making company Ð produces a wide range of coated papers and board, and various industrial and security papers. The new ABB AccuRay Nexus QCS and integrated SP1200 Smart Platform was selected to replace the control system for a twin-wire paper machine producing base material for an off-line coater.

The system includes on-line sensors for basis weight, moisture, ash and caliper, plus a Smart Calendar Profiler for reducing variability in sheet caliper and an Optipak sensor for measuring sheet formation, opacity and brightness. The new ABB system promises improved process quality and productivity, with faster grade changes and quicker recovery from process disruptions being key elements.
