200-Tonne Cyclisation Reactor Transported to UP Bioplastic Plant After Six Months
A massive 147-foot cyclisation reactor weighing around 200 tonnes was transported from Belgium to Uttar Pradesh's Lakhimpur-Kheri district over six months. The 260-wheel trailer covered nearly 1,300 km through four states, overcoming challenges like narrow roads, overhead wires, and infrastructure adjustments. The reactor will be installed at Balrampur Chini Mills' Kumbhi facility, India's first integrated sugar-to-bioplastic plant, with operations expected to begin in November. The journey cost approximately Rs 15 crore and involved extensive logistical planning.
