吊升系統(tǒng)使LKAB公司提升25%的產(chǎn)量

Zurich, Switzerland, September 1, 2006 – ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, said today it has won a $20-million contract from mining and minerals group LKAB to raise productivity at an iron-ore mine in Kiruna, Sweden.

瑞士蘇黎世9月1日消息——全球領(lǐng)先的電力和自動(dòng)化技術(shù)集團(tuán)ABB公司今天宣布贏得一份來自采礦和礦物集團(tuán)LKAB公司價(jià)值2,000萬美元合同，為位于瑞典基律納市的一個(gè)鐵礦石場(chǎng)提高產(chǎn)量。

ABB will supply hoists, used to haul ore to the surface, as well as hoist-control systems and drives to help increase production at Kiruna by 25 percent and support extending the depth of the mine by about a third to 1,365 meters below the surface.

ABB將提供用于吊運(yùn)礦石到地面的吊升機(jī)，以及控制吊升機(jī)的系統(tǒng)和驅(qū)動(dòng)，以幫助基律納鐵礦場(chǎng)提升25%的產(chǎn)量，以及支持增加三分之一的礦場(chǎng)深度，可達(dá)地表以下1365米。

ABB had record sales of hoist systems in 2005 as mining companies invested in raising output to meet a surge in global demand for commodities.

ABB在2005年取得了破記錄的吊升系統(tǒng)銷售，因?yàn)榈V業(yè)公司不斷投入以增加產(chǎn)量，以滿足不斷上升的全球商品需要。

“Our control and drive technologies offer mine operators optimum productivity and energy efficiency for hoist systems,” said Veli-Matti Reinikkala, head of ABB’s Process Automation division. “Blending 70 years of experience with standard ABB products, we provide quick response combined with an attractive return on investment.”

ABB過程自動(dòng)化部經(jīng)理Veli-Matti Reinikkala表示：“我們的控制和驅(qū)動(dòng)技術(shù)為采礦工作者的吊升系統(tǒng)提供了最佳的生產(chǎn)力和能源效率。70年的行業(yè)經(jīng)驗(yàn)結(jié)合標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的ABB產(chǎn)品，我們提供了快速的反應(yīng)服務(wù)，以及一個(gè)有吸引力的投資回報(bào)率。”

ABB will supply ACS6000SD variable speed drives, 5600 kW synchronous machines and AC800M control systems to four existing underground hoists. In addition, ABB will provide a new turnkey mine hoist with complete mechanics and brake system at surface level. The modernizations will begin early next year and continue through 2008.

ABB將供應(yīng)ACS6000SD變速驅(qū)動(dòng)，5600 kW的同步機(jī)以及用于四個(gè)現(xiàn)有地下吊升機(jī)的AC800M控制系統(tǒng)。此外，ABB還將提供一個(gè)全新的一切齊全即可使用的在表層帶有完整機(jī)械和制動(dòng)系統(tǒng)的采礦吊升機(jī)。這些現(xiàn)代化設(shè)備將在明年初開始建造，并持續(xù)到2008年。

ABB has a long tradition of cooperation with LKAB dating back more than 50 years. The first hoist was delivered to LKAB in 1948. ABB supplied the present ten production hoists in Kiruna in the 1970’s which were modernized in the 1990’s.

ABB與LKAB公司具有悠久的合作傳統(tǒng)，可追溯到50多年前。在1948年，ABB就向LKAB交付了第一個(gè)吊升機(jī)。ABB在上個(gè)世紀(jì)70年代向基律納提供了最近的十個(gè)生產(chǎn)吊升機(jī)，并且在90年代進(jìn)行了現(xiàn)代化升級(jí)。
