TM GE has a 100-year history providing power to electrically driven paper machines. TM GE continues to grow its technology and applications for new and existing paper machines.

Modern paper machines often include over 100 individual drives that are coordinated through process controllers and high-speed LAN interfaces. Sophisticated yet simple-to-use HMI operator controls and superior diagnostics allow maximum uptime and repeatable setup and operation. TM GE serves the paper industry through OEMs and directly to mill operators.

At least two times each year, TM GE invites its customers and OEM engineers to its Paper Mill Engineering School. Held both at TM GE’s Salem, Virginia, headquarters and off site at various worldwide locations, this school brings together a wealth of both product and system experience to the paper industry.

From headbox to winder, ultra-reliable and high-performance AC drive products and processor hardware and software are applied to meet demanding paper machine applications.
