Nuform's construction over, time for machinery |

 Nuform
Packaging is moving ahead steadily as it gears up its operation to meet the every
growing demand for their "Eurotrays". The extent of the work is all encompassing as the first stage of the upgrade was enlarging and reorganising the building. That phase of the project is over as the huge gallery for the new production equipment is now in place. The process of installing and building the equipment that will see the capabilities of this plant jump almost exponentially. Using the permanent staff and craftsmen the new machinery is being produced from Nuform's |
||||||
 |
||||||
 own designs and assembled in this newly developed section of the plant. As one sees the vast production of the plant ready for shipping it is easy to forget that this production facility is taking waste and turning it into a highly valued product. Yesterday tons of Saskatoon telephone books arrived and are being readied for processing. The books are sorted out and |
||||||
 stacked to be run through a special machine which slices off the binding and the paper is then readied to become the raw material that goes into production that goes on twenty-four hours a day seven days a week. Last week SaskEnergy installed a larger line to serve the operation. Nuform Packaging is an extremely efficient user of both energy and water. The designs for the production process not only concentrate on recycling material but do so with the most energy efficient means possible. Natural gas is used in the drying process so that the only emissions from the production process is water vapour and carbon dioxide from the combustion process. |
