WSM Vertical Grinder Case Study |
Eucalyptus & Acacia Bark

Having made the decision to switch from Acacia to Eucalyptus bark, our customer quickly found eucalyptus bark was proving more difficult due to its more fibrous and stringy characteristics.

While it is a common problem many pulp and paper mills face, this large paper mill based in Indonesia overcame the challenge of shredding eucalyptus bark while increasing production thanks to engineered solutions from West Salem Machinery.
