Comments:
Plane Creek Mill processed just over 42,000 tonnes of cane for the week, bringing the season total to just under 133,000 tonnes.
Throughput was disrupted early on Wednesday morning due to a bagasse belt choke which resulted in an 11-hour stoppage.
A cleaning intermission was conducted overnight Wednesday, leading into an extended stop caused by industrial action on Thursday.
Average CCS rose by 0.37 of a unit over the previous week, closing out at 13.10 units. Standover cane made up 25 per cent of the week’s cane supply.
The highest CCS honour for the week was shared between a rake of KQ228 1R from the Mt Christian productivity area and another rake of KQ228 3R from the Koumala productivity area – both with a CCS of 16.2 units.
Do not linger near any part of the rail network, and only cross the line using designated crossings.
Remember our locos are towing heavy loads and can take up to 1km to come to a complete stop.
Our cane trains are operating around the clock, seven days a week, during the crushing season.
