ABB online analyzer helps pulp mill in Sweden 

ABB在线分析仪帮助瑞典纸浆厂

Zurich, Switzerland, May 21, 2008 -- ABB’s online pulp defect analyzer is helping a Sodra Cell pulp mill in Sweden achieve its target of 100 percent pulp quality by detecting minute defects as small as 0.04 square millimeters.

瑞士苏黎世5月21日消息——ABB的在线纸浆瑕疵分析仪通过探测细小到0.04平方毫米的缺陷，正帮助瑞典Sodra Cell纸浆厂百分百实现其纸浆质量目标。

The pulp defect analyzer is an online automated inspection system that analyzes the whole length of a pulp bale, detecting dirt spots and shives (minute wood fiber particles) as small as 0.04 mm2 and with an accuracy of one hundredth of one square millimeter (0.01 mm2). 

该纸浆缺陷分析仪是一个在线自动检测系统，分析整个纸浆包的长度，检测污垢点和小至0.04平方毫米的碎片（细小木纤维粒子），准确性可达百分之一平方毫米（ 0.01平方毫米）。

This is a massive improvement on the alternative method of pulp bale analysis, which is sample-based, covers only a fraction of the bale and is time-consuming, inefficient and error-prone.

这是一个纸浆包分析替代方法的巨大改进，原来的方法是以样本为基础的，只包括一小部分的纸浆包，而且耗费时间，效率低下，容易出错。

“We are at the leading edge thanks to our pulp defect analyzer, whose measurements could set an industry standard worldwide,” says Barbro Andreasson, process engineer for Sodra Cell.

Sodra Cell纸浆厂过程工程师Barbro Andreasson表示：“我们处于领先的地位是因为我们的纸浆缺陷分析仪，它的测量可以在全球树立一个行业标准。”

Based on ABB’s hugely successful Web Imaging HDI800 defect detection and classification system for paper mills, the pulp defect analyzer uses ABB’s industry-leading digital camera technology and advanced algorithms to detect and record defects and classify them into meaningful clusters. This enables operators to quickly identify the source of the defects and take corrective action.

基于ABB获得巨大成功的Web Imaging HDI800造纸厂缺陷检测和分级系统，纸浆缺陷分析仪使用ABB业界领先的数码相机技术和先进的算法来侦测并记录缺陷，并把它们分成有意义的集群。这使得操作人员能够迅速查明缺陷的来源，并采取纠正行动。

Sodra Cell is one of the world’s leading producers of paper pulp and the first company to reap the benefits of ABB's analyzer.

Sodra Cell是世界领先的纸浆生产商之一，并且是第一家受益于ABB分析仪的公司。

The installation was completed in January 2007 at Sodra Cell’s state-of-the-art Morrum mill in Sweden, which manufactures both short fiber and long fiber pulp for most types of paper. The mill has a production capacity of 430,000 tons and exports to paper mills across Europe.

分析仪的安装在2007年1月在Sodra Cell瑞典顶级的Morrum工厂完成，该工厂生产用于大多数类型纸张的短纤维和长纤维纸浆，生产能力43万吨，出口整个欧洲的造纸厂。

“Holes, spots, pitches (sap) and shives are typical of the defects we detect. Spots of 0.2 - 0.6 mm2 are very common,” says Mats Lennvid, process engineer at Morrum. “In liquid carton board and cigarette paper, for instance, it is crucial that we detect such defects. Manual inspection alone is insufficient.” 

Morrum工厂过程工程师Mats Lennvid表示：“小洞、小点、沥青以及碎片都是我们检测到的典型缺陷。0.2到0 .6平方毫米的小点非常普遍。例如，在液体纸盒板和卷烟纸中，我们发现这种缺陷是至关重要的。单凭手工检查是不够的。”

The pulp defect analyzer integrates seamlessly with ABB and third-party distributed control systems as well as quality control and quality management systems. Sodra has installed six ABB pulp defect analyzers in its mills in Sweden and Norway.

该纸浆缺陷分析仪与ABB和第三方的分布式控制系统以及质量控制和质量管理系统无缝集成。Sodra已经在其瑞典和挪威的工厂安装了六套ABB纸浆缺陷分析仪。
