TRR chooses ABB to provide mill automation system
ABB worked with TRR to provide a complete automation system for their new sugar mill. The solution includes a variety of ABB motors and drives, orchestrated by the ABB AbilityTM System 800xA distributed control system (DCS). Electrical control, process control and plant safety capabilities are fully integrated within the DCS.
ABB supplied 18 low-voltage motors, three ACS800 multi-drives for the sugar mills, one medium-voltage slip ring motor for the shredder and two medium voltage slip-ring motors for cutters—all under the control of the ABB Ability System 800xA.
This is the second plant in Thailand where individual pinionless AC drives are installed on each rolling mill. This innovative design enhances the ability to transmit power independently to each mill and allows greater control and higher system efficiency.
In addition to plant automation, TRR has developed a digital sugarcane farming management system, using information technology and GPS to link and share data between farmers and the factory. This farm-to-factory communication helps farmers improve their effectiveness in selecting sugarcane fields for harvesting.
The project includes a partnership with Real Soluplus Company Limited, EPC, which has extensive expertise in the sugar industry.
