ABB has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) agreement with Raumaster Paper to jointly explore integrated winder solutions in the US, helping paper mills enhance operational efficiency and extend the lifecycle of existing equipment.
By aligning Raumaster Paper's winder designs with ABB's automation expertise, mills can benefit from reduced commissioning times, streamlined operation, and enhanced safety - delivering tangible improvements for operators managing aging assets.
This collaboration will enable access to an optimized winder control package that seamlessly integrates with ABB's broader automation ecosystem, motors and drives. This end-to-end approach ensures smoother operation, easier maintenance, and better visibility in machine performance, helping operators manage their finishing processes more efficiently.
The agreement outlines a framework for standardizing winder drive control solutions, machine control systems and safety features, aligning ABB's advanced automation technologies with Raumaster's winder technology. The companies will also jointly pursue opportunities for retrofits and new winder installations, demonstrating the benefits of a fully integrated winder solution.
Raumaster has been designing and manufacturing diverse machinery including paper mill finishing house equipment for over 40 years. In this time, it has delivered more than 110 high-capacity winder and rewinder machines globally.
ABB is a global technology leader in electrification and automation.
