Posted by Samurai that's what is called a 'tail bailer' or just 'bailer' for short. What happens is that when you run a sheet, you get what are called trim or tails from either side of the roll when you cut it to size. A vacuum system grabs it off the sheeter, sends it through what we called a cyclone system to the bailer room where it is collected, bailed and either repulped and sent back through the system or picked up my the outdoor misc folks and sent to the landfill. There is some stuff we can't send back through the system because of color (we used to run color runs of paper) or a material called 'indigo'. sorry... like i said, this is what I did for eleven years of my life. some people find it interesting, other people could give a flying shit. |
Posted by UnspaceAgent So according to online sources, the building was originally occupied by the Container Corporation of America(CCA), who made corrugated cardboard boxes. In late 1980 CCA was cited for multiple violations by the EPA, sparking a protest of 110 workers on a nearby bridge/street over the possible closure of the plant. In 1986 CCA was sold to the Jefferson Smufit Corporation which later in 1998 merged with the Stone Container Corporation to become Smurfit/Stone Container Corporation and took over the plant as a paper/cardboard reclamation center. If I am reading the business history correctly the plant closed permanently in 2006. So it's been unoccupied for about 15 years. |
Posted by UnspaceAgent Really, it's what comes up on a business search of the address. Sorry to have provided incorrect information. |
Posted by DudeManDeuce Ok, I thought that this was a bale of recycled cardboard being fed into the machines. Any idea how the smoke stacks fit in? Are they generating their own power? |
Posted by Porcelain Doll Really not sure what address you got, but it's only been closed less than 8 years |
Posted by Porcelain Doll Wrong place. |
