Aug 30, 2010. /Lesprom Network/. Burrows Paper has started work on two capital projects at its paper mill in Pickens, Mississippi, USA, as PaperAge reported. The first project is an extensive rebuild of the mill's paper machine #41, which includes the installation a new 15' MG cylinder and integrated MG hood - custom built by Metso. Substantial foundation and other preparatory work to support the new machine will begin in October. A new winder has already been installed to accommodate the increased speed and output of the paper machine, the company added. The entire rebuild is scheduled for completion before year-end. The second project, to be implemented concurrently, involves installation of heating and ventilation units with equipment to utilize geothermal energy for heating and cooling the mill. “These projects highlight the innovative and environmentally conscious approach we bring to our work every day,” said Mike Lengvarsky, Burrows' President and COO. “We believe it's possible to simultaneously enhance our production process and reduce our impact on the environment. “The modernization of this paper machine means that we can make paper at faster speeds and reduced cost, make additional grades of paper that we can't make today, and enhance the quality and performance of our paper,” Lengvarsky added. Burrows Paper Corporation produces light weight specialty paper and light weight specialty packaging products.
