BiOrigin Specialty Products (BSP) installed a new Elite Cameron CS800 slitter rewinder in its Menominee, Michigan, mill, nearly doubling the mill's slitting and rewinding capacity.

The Elite Cameron CS800 is equipped with a shaftless pick-up unwind, which reduces manual labor and enhances safety for mill workers. New photo-sensor light curtains provide enhanced safety for workers as well. The machine can run up to 1,500 feet per minute and can handle web widths up to 64 inches.

The Menominee Mill is one of six BSP mills throughout the United States and Canada that produces the lion's share of its customers' waxed papers, primarily for the Food Packaging Industry.

"Our food packaging customers value the new quality, versatility and speed of our new Elite Cameron rewinder," said Wade Kemnitz, BiOrigin Specialty Products' President and Chief Executive Officer. "We can efficiently slit various coated and uncoated papers into narrow widths and diameters up to 32 inches – with a quick response time," he added.

BiOrigin Specialty Products (BSP) is a leading manufacturer and converter of parent paper rolls in North America.
