Testimonials

“After 35 years of struggling to keep consistent wood supply to the unit, we reached out to mpcp for solutions. The quality and craftsmanship of our new conveyor exceeded our expectations. The new design has stabilized the fuel deficiency to the unit thus increasing output to our process.”

Installed: One wood eating mammoth beast of a conveyor system
Installed: 1 x Bark Distribution Conveyor (2015).

“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.”

John Boyd, Utilities Superintendent, Nippon Paper Industries, Port Angeles, WA, USA
Installed: 1 x Single chain Grate Ash and 3 x Back-end Ash Conveyors, 1 x Double Flap Gate (2009-2011)

“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
Installed: 2 x Grate Ash Conveyors (2006)

“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.”

“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.
