Paper is used in almost every industry, whether it be printing paper, cardboard packaging or recycled paper. Across the world paper manufacturers and recycling plants work hard to meet this demand.
Paper manufacturing requires a single machine that runs across about 200-300 metres as part of one continuous process. As a result of using one main machine, breakdown and failure in one section can shut down the entire unit.
Forensic Investigations
When an incident occurs that results in a loss or business interruption, whether it be a fire resulting from the heavy fuel load or machine breakdown that halts production, we are available to investigate the root cause of the incident.
Risk Management
CEERISK experts have worked with paper manufacturers to identify the hazards present on site and assess the risks in plants that manufacture paper, cardboard and pulp. We advise on ways to improve the quality of the control measures in place, to control the risk of fires and other interruptions, including corrosion and damage to the highly specialised machinery.
Paper manufacturing also introduces additional fire risks due to the high fuel load in manufacturing plants, in both the final products and the raw materials that are used to create fire. Because of this it is unsurprising that many catastrophic incidents have occurred over the years, culminating in high losses. We work with operators to ensure that the severity of these risks is reduced through complex management and control systems.
