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?
| sorry for the delay on the reply... some mills require a powerhouse to run certain process, others just to have their own power source. Making paper uses a ton of power and water. the mill I worked at was a Kraft process mill. That means that there was a woodyard, pulp mill, powerhouse, recausticization plant and water treatment plant. I worked in the paper machines (where the actual paper gets made) pulp mill, recaust plant, warehouse (for a short time) and the finishing room (where the rolls get converted to sheets). I finished out my career there in the finishing room on the roll ramp, wrapping rolls for shipment. if you want an explanation of kraft process, PM me... i don't think anyone here wants a lecture on how paper is made. this is where I worked (for eleven shitfucksucking years): https://www.uer.ca...ow.asp?locid=24462

| | | So, Smurfit/Stone mothballed their operations in 2006, but definitely retained ownership of the property. The business records for Paperworks begins in 2008, so it was empty for at least a year and a half to two years at that time. There's no record of sale, so they most likely leased the property. Paperworks ended operations in late 2017, laying off 147 workers. My fault for only checking sales and ownership records and not including leasing/rental. For those that have been wanting to visit this location you might want to get a move-on. Plans to renovate the property started in 2018 and if the plant just sold they may be getting ready to get started. A Dallas real-estate company had proposed plans to turn the space into a residential/commercial hub with apartments, office spaces, hotels and shops.
