Jura Cement has a long and well-established partnership with ABB Switzerland, optimizing production methods through state-of-the art control equipment to help develop the cement producer’s use of alternative fuels to their full potential.
The leaflet outlines ABB's partnership with Jura Cement, detailing the implementation of the System 800xA control platform, the Expert Optimizer software, and modern drive technology such as the ACS 2000. It highlights how these solutions enable the use of multiple alternative fuels, reduce energy consumption and minimise production stops.
Key features include a central control room with eleven operator stations, high‑resolution displays, fibre‑optic Profibus connections, and the integration of Siemens Cemat into the ABB system. The document also mentions the installation of medium‑voltage drives, the AC800M controllers, and the SpectraFlow analyser for raw‑material monitoring.
