ABB delivers safety and reliability for AGRANA’s new wheat starch plant
Austria
Challenge
The aim is to meet the growing demand for wheat starch, especially from the paper industry due to the increased use of recycled paper and to ensure the safe, reliable control of every aspect of the plant’s operation, from receiving raw materials, through processing to storage.
Solution
ABB supplied, installed and commissioned hundreds of ACS880 drives and multi-drives and MNS® low-voltage switchgear.
Outcome
Value drivers like safety, system flexibility, reliability and efficiency are answered effectively through ABB’s offering of low voltage switchgear and drives.
In addition to energy efficiency and precision control, a high level of safety has been achieved by the integrated drive-based safety functionality built into the ABB drives. The MNS LV switchgear also has a fully modular, withdrawable design that provides high levels of safety, availability and reliability for the plant’s power distribution network – minimizing the possibility of any loss from unexpected downtime.
