Fulghum Fibres Gold Hill Facility Update

Fulghum Fibres' Gold Hill, Virginia facility is located just west of Richmond, VA and was constructed in 2005.  The facility processes approximately 300,000 tons per year of pine for MeadWestvaco

 

The facility's debarker and chipper are enclosed in an insulated building to control the noise levels for the surrounding area.  This allows for the facility be below any local noise ordinances, and also controls any dust that may be present during the debarking and chipping process.  The mill is fed with (2) Fulghum 125' electronic variable radial cranes.

The heart of any Fulghum Fibres chip mill is the chipper.  This particular chipper is a Fulghum 96" - 8 knife horizontal feed bottom discharge.  As with any Fulghum Fibres facility, knife changes will be made as often as necessary.  If there is any change in quality the mill is shut down and the knives are changed.  This allows us to produce the highest quality chip for our customers.

The facility has the capability to load both rail cars and chip trucks.
