ABB在南非赢得2千5百万美元合同

Zurich, Switzerland, Dec. 4, 2007 – ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, has won a $25-million order from Anglo Platinum for equipment and services to help more than double production at a processing plant in South Africa.

瑞士苏黎世12月4日消息——领先的电力和自动化技术集团ABB从Anglo Platinum公司赢得了一份价值2千5百万美元的设备和服务合同，帮助后者在南非的处理厂产量翻一番多。

ABB will deliver two gearless mill drive systems to help run the ore-grinding equipment at Anglo Platinum’s mill in Mokopane, about 280 kilometers north-east of Johannesburg. Anglo Platinum is the largest primary producer of platinum, accounting for about 38 percent of the world’s production.

ABB将提供两个无齿轮传动磨机系统，以帮助Anglo Platinum距离约翰内斯堡东北280公里的Mokopane工厂的矿石粉磨设备运转。Anglo Platinum是全球最大的初级铂生产商，约占全球产量的38%左右。

“Innovative ABB technologies like our gearless mill drive systems, combined with our industry knowledge and experience, significantly improve productivity and process reliability for our minerals and mining customers,” said Veli-Matti Reinikkala, head of ABB’s Process Automation division.

ABB过程自动化部主管Veli-Matti Reinikkala表示：“ABB的创新技术，例如我们的无齿轮传动磨机系统，结合了我们的业界知识和经验，为我们的矿产和采矿客户极大地提高了生产力和流程可靠性。”

ABB’s gearless mill drive systems will significantly improve the plant's capacity, adding 600,000 tons of ore to the 385,000 tons processed each month now. The expansion will also increase the amount of refined platinum produced, from 200,000 to 430,000 ounces annually.

ABB的无齿轮传动磨机系统将大大改善该厂的产量，在现每月处理38万5千吨的基础上再增加60万吨的矿石。这也将提高精炼铂的产量，从每年20万盎司提升到43万盎司。

ABB will also supply pre-engineering and related services, spare parts, transformers, cabling, material delivery, supervision of installation, and commissioning. Production is scheduled to begin in late 2007.

ABB还将提供工程前及相关服务，零配件、变压器、电缆、物资运送、安装监督以及调试。生产预计在2007年底开始。

ABB invented and delivered the world’s first gearless mill drive system in 1969, which is still operating with its original converter, providing cost-effective, energy-efficient performance with proven long-term reliability.

ABB公司在1969年发明并推出了全球第一款无齿轮传动磨机系统，目前仍然保持其原来的转换器运作着，并通过其长期的可靠性提供了高成本效益的、高能效的性能。

Platinum is a key resource for the automotive industry, and 90 percent of global reserves are in South Africa.

铂是汽车工业的一个重要资源，全球储量的90%是在南非。

ABB is a leader in power and automation technologies that enable utility and industry customers to improve performance while lowering environmental impact. The ABB Group of companies operates in around 100 countries and employs about 111,000 people.

ABB是电力和自动化技术领域的全球领导厂商，致力于为工业和电力行业客户提供解决方案，以帮助客户提高生产效率，同时降低对环境的不良影响。ABB集团的业务遍布全球100多个国家，拥有大约111,000名雇员。
