ABB to supply Mill Drive systems for copper mine in Brazil
 
ABB為巴西銅礦廠提供研磨機驅動系統

Baden, Switzerland, March 10, 2008 – ABB won an order from Vale (formerly CVRD) to deliver gearless mill drive systems that will maximize productivity and energy efficiency at a new copper mine in northern Brazil.

瑞士Baden3月10日消息—— ABB從Vale公司 （前身是巴西淡水河谷公司）贏得了一份訂單 ，提供無齒輪傳動研磨機系統，最大限度地提高巴西北部一個新的銅礦場的生產效率和能源效率。

The Salobo mine is located at the Tapirapé-Aquiri National Forest, in the state of Para, Brazil, and operated by a wholly owned subsidiary of Vale (formerly Companhia Vale do Rio Doce). When comissioned in early 2010, the mine will have an estimated capacity of 100,000 tons of copper per year.

Salobo礦場位于巴西帕拉州的Tapirapé-Aquiri國家森林，并由Vale公司全資擁有的一個子公司運營。一旦在2010年初開始試運營，該礦場的年生產能力預計達10萬噸銅。

ABB’s delivery for the new mine includes two complete 17 MW gearless mill drive systems for two 26’ ball mills, as well as transformers, spare parts, project engineering, installation, training and other related support services. ABB’s gearless mill drives (giant motor and drive systems that power ore-crushing mills) are more reliable and energy efficient than traditional mill drive systems, and increase mill productivity.

AB為該新礦場提供的包括用于26 '球形研磨機的兩套完整的17兆瓦無齒輪研磨機驅動系統，以及變壓器、零部件、工程、安裝、培訓及其他相關的支持服務。ABB的無齒輪傳動研磨機（為礦石粉碎機提供動力的大型電機和驅動系統）比傳統的研磨機驅動系統更可靠，更具有能源效率，而且提高研磨機的生產率。

“This project underscores our continued leadership in providing advanced solutions for our mining customers,” said Veli-Matti Reinikkala, head of ABB’s Process Automation division. “As the need to optimize energy use and overall performance continues to be a priority, innovative technologies like ABB’s gearless mill drives, combined with our industry know-how and engineering resources, help new installations like the Salobo mine start operating successfully from day one.”

ABB過程自動化部主管Veli-Matti Reinikkala表示：“這一項目充分凸顯了我們在為采礦行業客戶提供先進的解決方案方面，繼續發揮著領導作用。隨著優化能源利用和整體性能的需要任然是人們首先考慮的問題，創新技術，比如整合了我們的業界技術訣竅和工程資源的ABB無齒輪傳動研磨機驅動，幫助Salobo礦場這樣的新用戶從第一天起就成功開始運營。”

ABB delivered the world’s first gearless machine drive in 1969, which is still operating with its original converter, providing cost-effective, energy-efficient performance with proven long-term reliability.

ABB在1969年提供了世界上第一臺無齒輪機器驅動，目前仍在利用其原有的轉換器運營，以其已證明的長期可靠性，提供了具有成本效益以及高能源效益的表現。

This is ABB’s latest contract for Vale; over the years, ABB has delivered numerous automation solutions, services and related support to Vale’s mining operations all over the world.

這是ABB從Vale公司獲得的最近一份合約，過去幾年，ABB已經為Vale公司在全球的采礦場提供了大量的自動化解決方案、服務以及相關的支持。

ABB’s Process Automation division delivers integrated solutions for control, plant optimization, and industry-specific application knowledge and services to help process industry customers worldwide meet their critical business needs in the areas of operational profitability, capital productivity, risk management and global responsibility. These industries include oil and gas, power, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, pulp and paper, metals, minerals, marine and turbocharging.
