Blandin Paper Mill Tours– Grand Rapids, Minnesota |
|
This tour is something that is truly interesting. It takes you through the whole paper making process with the watery pulp that eventually becomes paper to the big presses that flatten it out. It’s quite a site to see.
The mill was founded in 1901 in Grand Rapids. Blandin Paper became UPM-Kymmene’s first North American mill in October of 1997 and is one of northern Minnesota‘s largest employers.
There are two paper machines that have an annual capacity of about 370,000 short tones (336,000 metric tons), manufacturing No. 5 grade of paper with basis weights ranging from 30 to 40 pounds. All paper manufactured by Blandin is lightweight coated, names for its clay-based glossy coating that makes it attractive as a publication paper.
Free guided tours of the mill are offered on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 10 – 3, from the first Wednesday in June through the Friday before Labor Day. Tour guides escort small groups through the mill on a continuous basis. The tour also includes a video of the papermaking process.
No children under 12 are allowed. No open-toed shoes are allowed. No cameras are allowed.
You will need to have the ability to climb some stairs to go on the tour. Also, the paper mill is very warm to be prepared for the heat. |
