THIS PAPER reviews the innovations that have been introduced in the milling train at Rocky Point mill since 2001 and provides some operational, performance and maintenance comparisons of the technologies in use. The decision to install BHEM mills in the #2 and #3 mill positions to complement the six-roll mills in the #1 and #4 mill positions has proven a good one. Satisfactory performance is being obtained by these mills while maintenance costs are significantly less. Very good #1 mill extraction and final bagasse moisture content are being achieved. The innovation of using Hägglunds hydraulic drives at higher speed than other Australian mill hydraulic drives and with a planetary gearbox has provided good drive life. The electromechanical drives on the BHEM mills have proven to require less maintenance than the hydraulic drives. A series of innovations in juice groove maintenance and scraper technology has seen significant extensions to the life of both rolls and scrapers and has helped to reduce milling train maintenance costs significantly.
