Bainbridge, Ga.-A fire apparently started in a feed elevator to the milling system at Georgia Sulfur Corp.’s Bainbridge plant and temporarily shut down the facility on March 26 according to Jesse Maranville, company vice president. Maranville said there were no injuries, but the inner roof of the back of the building in the milling area was heavily damaged, while the outer roof was generally spared. Maranville said he expected production at the facility to resume in a week or so, but in the meantime the production will be switched to the company’s other two plants at Mount Pleasant and Freeport. Most of the repairs were expected to take only a matter of days, but the electrical rewiring will take a week or more. The company uses sulfur in the production of rubber products for more than thirty companies.
