SIPAPER Drive Systems

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pressure, customers all over the world are demanding product quality that's virtually impossible to achieve using outdated technology.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 all pulp and paper processes, from front to end and for all needs: individual or sectional drive systems with full automation and digitalization support to 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. Gearless drives, permanent magnet motors to save energy and space around the machine or both - we can supply a solution to suit your needs

SIPAPER offers innovative drive solutions for the paper industry

Our innovative drive solutions, Industrial Process Control Suite, for all speed variable drives will handle all the challenges of the fiber industry or other porcess industries. The module is based on SIMATIC PCS 7, the leading process control system worldwide. It perfectly integrates the functionality of the drives to create a powerful system with highest availability relieving the operator from many tasks by intelligent functionality tailored to the specific area of the porcess. Our solution will help to reach the goals: producing a top-quality product realiably ad cost-effectivly.

The automation controller ensures the functionality of rapid digital control and calculation tasks for the drives. The operator interface is available as a high-end operator station in a virtualized server-client architecture for control and monitoring, including comprehensive fault diagnostics. Operator panels provide a user-friendly solution for local operation. Together with our partners we can provide the complete solution for you, from sesign and engineering, manufacturing and commissioning, for green and brown field plants and their complete lifecycle.

With our proven and precisely coordinated components and standardized technology modules, you can also integrate higher-value control functions with minimum engineering effort. And with the industry-specific control and diagnostic functions of Industrial Process Control Suite Sectoinal Drive System, you'll also benefit from high-availability paper production with optimal quality across all plant components, from the paper machine to the finishing machine and reel slitter. Safety integrated is an integral part, which complies with all legal and the most advanced safety requirements such as EN1034 and EU Regulation of Machinery.
