Questions —
Monroe wire buying questions
Do you buy paper machine drive cable here?
Yes. Drive and section cable is read on its VFD rating, shield construction and documented length, with the mill's project file as evidence.
Is converting plant cable different from mill cable?
Converting plants use more control, drive and building cable and less medium voltage. Both are reviewed, but as separate lots.
Can material move by barge from the Ouachita port?
It can, though cable usually leaves by road because reels fit a flatbed better than a barge schedule.
Does the parish include West Monroe?
Yes. Monroe and West Monroe are one industrial market and are reviewed together.
