Fine Hygienic Holding (FHH) has successfully completed modernizing its PM3 tissue production line's sectional winder drive system at its mill in 6th of October City, Giza, Egypt, reinforcing the tissue maker’s ability to maintain reliable production.
“This upgrade strengthens our ability to serve our domestic and export customers without interruption,” said Mohamed Kossiry, Electrical Maintenance Manager, FHH Egypt. “Our partnership with ABB, combined with their dedicated local support team, enabled us to modernize efficiently and confidently.”
Executing a critical upgrade without compromising output
The winder is critical to operations, and any downtime directly impacts revenue. ABB modernized the drive system by integrating PMC800 tissue winder automation, replacing legacy equipment that posed reliability risks.
The upgrade was completed during planned maintenance with zero production impact. ABB delivered the full project, parameter configuration, system integration, and live testing, within the agreed shutdown period.
"We understand that for tissue manufacturers, every moment of downtime directly impacts revenue and customer satisfaction," said Nourhan Abdel-Moneim, Regional Sales Manager (Middle East and North Africa), ABB’s Process Industries division. "Our integrated drive and automation solutions, combined with local expertise, ensure FHH can optimize their production while maintaining the highest reliability standards."
Building on a foundation of trust
With the upgraded ABB drive system and PMC800 integration, the mill has strengthened the technology supporting this critical stage of production while benefiting from ABB's broader automation and service capabilities.
The successful PM3 upgrade builds on FHH Egypt's broader relationship with ABB. With ABB technologies supporting multiple areas across PM1 and PM3, the mill benefits from an integrated portfolio spanning drives, automation, quality control, electrical systems and instrumentation.
