The performance of a cane shredder fitted with feed rolls

For the 1987 crushing season, Racecourse mill installed several major items of plant, including a 2.75 m wide cane shredder. The shredder was part of a $14 million expansion program to rebuild the marshalling yards and cane receivals station on the southern side of the Peak Downs Highway and to construct a new cane preparation station and number one mill beside the existing milling train.
