Proserpine Mill processed just over 91,400 tonnes of cane for the week, bringing the season total to 1.26M tonnes.
Throughput was above budget, following the successful installation of a new injection water pump motor early in the week. This addressed an issue which had been limiting the factory’s crushing capacity.
The average weekly CCS came in below budget at 13.87 units.
The highest CCS was 16.60 units from a rake of ratoon Q208 from the Elaroo productivity district.
Please remember to use your train brain and always take care around our cane rail network.
A fully loaded cane train can take up to one kilometre to pull up. Our cane trains work around the clock, seven days a week.
