MONDI FELIXTON: THE FUTURE OF MONDI PACKAGING'S STAR, POST-PROJECT KHULISA,

摘要

In 2007, Mondi Felixton began Project Khulisa (Zulu for "We are growing") - a R 250 million expansion project that began with a new recycled fibre plant in December 2007 and ended with an upgrade to the mill's paper machine in March 2008. The motivation for the upgrade was to increase production from 110 000 tonne/annum to 155 000 ton/annum and to increase overall efficiency of production, through reduced levels of energy and water consumption, as well as reduced fibre loss. Mondi Felixton have achieved all of this and more. TAPPSA Journal chatted to Neil Hunt, Mondi Felixton's technical manager, about why Project Khulisa was so successful and what challenges still lie ahead for the mill.
