QUALITY THAT WILL SAVE YOU MONEY
When mill personnel want to know about a supplier’s product, their best source is other mills that have their equipment already in operation. Whether you are deciding on new project requirements or upgrading a current system that is not performing up to capacity, every material handling supply company will tell you they have the perfect solution for you – but who can you believe? To help you in your decision, mp combustion process ltd. (mpcp) asked a number of new and long-standing clients what they thought of their drag chain conveyors, combustion and material handling equipment from mp combustion process ltd.

“I…was involved with the decision to acquire mp combustion design of conveyors over several other competitors. Other designs had previously been trialed in the Elk Falls mill, but always required maintenance and significant repairs after one or two years of service. The initial cost was higher than competitors; however, the benefits were realized pretty quickly with reliability of service and longevity of parts/equipment. …the quality and thoroughness of design into all aspects of the conveyor has been superior to the competitors we dealt with.”

Andreas Weckesser, Utilities Operation Specialist, Catalyst-Crofton (previously with Elk Falls), BC, Canada.

“We fought with our old system for a couple of years and decided to invest in mpcp’s system. We have not regretted the decision. It runs smooth, steady and without breakdowns. There was great care and thought put into this conveyor and it shows in how well it started up and continues to operate. mpcp has been very helpful through the installation process and continues to check in to see how things are going.”

Russ Blumenstein, Maintenance Manager, Freres Lumber Company, Lyons, OR, USA.

“What really surprises is the high resistance of the equipment installed already 10 years ago! It has been working hard along that period of time with minor maintenance work. I think it is because of the robust structure and the quality of materials employed by mp combustion process ltd.”

Jose Manauel Vazquez, Engineering Manager, CMPC Celulosa, S.A.

“The quality of workmanship and materials are excellent. The conveyor has far exceeded the expectations of the operating group. I would recommend this system to any facility that may want to upgrade their existing system.”

John Boyd, Utilities Superintendent, Nippon Paper Industries, Port Angeles, WA, USA.

“During my 22 years at the Crofton Division of Catalyst Paper, we have been through 3 generations of ash handling conveyors for our hog fired power boiler. …we have experienced a great improvement in reliability. In the 7 years we have been running these conveyors, we have yet to break a chain or have a sprocket fail. The conveyors run virtually trouble free from shut down to shut down.”

Michael Skinner, Power & Recovery Mechanical Maintenance Supervisor, Catalyst Paper, BC, Canada.
