The latest news from Kalamia Cane Growers and Kalagro for Members Only.
Mill Performance Update
Good morning all,
More problems have been identified with #1 boiler at Inkerman. Growers have been advised to not burn until further notice. The current plan is to continue crushing, cut all the burnt cane and plan a shutdown. This plan is still developing and I will share more information as it comes to hand.
Invicta has a late zero hour today following the derailment and caustic clean yesterday. The loading is at 72%. The mill is crushing quite well
Kalamia restart after the clean was delayed last night and as a result they have a late zero hour today and loading at 70%. The mill is crushing well now.
Pioneer had another good run overnight. Rate is down slightly but is being increased today.
Kind regards,
John Tait Cane Supply Manager |
