Network Platform 800

ABB’s Network Platform 800 for on-line high-performance measurement scanning offers papermakers the ability to apply the highest quality measurement technology on all applications. The advanced frame technology provides excellent strength-to-size ratio providing cost-effective installation in the tightest locations. This is the most robust scanner of this size on the market for continuous measurement and maximum uptime, designed for ease of maintenance, long life-span and low lifecycle cost even in the harshest operating environments. 

The Network Platform 800 (NP800) is a high-performance platform for scanning of today‘s small-to-mid size paper machines with up to 6.2 meters (244 inches) of trim and up to 8 meters scanner width.

Advanced capabilities include smart diagnostics, easy expansion and complete end column access for all maintenance tasks. These capabilities minimize down-time, startup requirements and installation time. All system electronics and moving parts are fully integrated and completely accessible from the end column for easy and safe maintenance while the process is running. All of which reduce the overall system lifecycle costs.

With the ABB Network Platform family of scanners, papermakers have the ability to apply the highest quality measurement technology on all applications.

Features Benefits
Reinforced carbon steel “A”-beam construction with strong end columns provides superior vertical, horizontal and torsional rigidity. Provides excellent strength-to-size ratio, providing cost-effective installation in the tightest locations.
All system electronics and moving parts are fully integrated and completely accessible from the end column for easy and safe maintenance while the process is running. Minimizes down-time, startup, installation time and reduces overall system lifecycle costs. Provides a safe working environment for maintenance tasks.
Advanced engineering tools for diagnostics, maintenance and remote trouble shooting. Facilitates faster troubleshooting and reduces maintenance cost and downtime.
Advanced diagnostics include online spectral analysis capabilities that can provide further process insight. By studying the frequency of disturbances in the paper machine, changes in the performance can be linked to process upsets, helping customers to identify and eliminate sources of variation.
Externally protected with advanced coatings that resist chemical agents and actively counters corrosion. Increase the working lifespan of the scanner.
2 sensor option optimized for machines with reduced sensor requirements. Reduced spare part and lifecycle costs.
Proprietary sealing-tape design allows internal pressuriza-tion. Prevents dirt from entering the interior. Air flow ensures thermal stabi-lization and protects all internal components against dirt, water, tem-perature and chemicals.
No cooling water required for scanner or sensors. Reduced maintenance and utility costs.

Network Platform 800  scanner has been recognized with the prestigious Red Dot award for Groundbreaking Design. The scanner provides customers with a stable, solid foundation for precision measurements during the process of making pulp or paper. ABB worked with Irish firm Dolmen to design the scanner to be durable, accurate, and perform well in rough mill environments.
