The new mill will have an annual production capacity of 1.5 million t of pulp, of which 1.1 million t  is short fiber (eucalyptus) and 400,000 t islong fiber (pine), part of which will  be converted into fluff pulp.

ABB’s solution features leading edge technology such as the Is-limiter, the world’s fastest power switching device, and cabinet modularity. The new plant’s power system will allow the mill to generate excess electricity for sale back into the grid. Engineering for the system is now underway. Implementation and commissioning will take place in the second quarter of 2015.

ABB and Klabin have been working together since the early 80s, across many disciplines and  projects, such as medium and high voltage, process electrification, motors, quality control and automation systems, in several of Klabin’s sites in the pulp or paper processes.
