In 2022 ESI added a second 157' diameter bin (2 million bushels) to this grain terminal facility. To feed the this new bin, a 900 ton crane was required to set the Hawthorne-Seving 30,000 BPH fill conveyor and bridge.
This customer had an aging Stout-built concrete grain elevator with original steel hoppers below the silos. After many years of hard use, the original hoppers and rack-and-pinion gates required complete replacement. Without original design drawings to work from, ESI's steel fabrication shop custom designed and built replacements using the worn-out original hoppers as their templates. ESI's millwright crew re-installed the hoppers which aligned perfectly and bolted back into place with no problems.
ESI expanded an existing feed mill with the addition of a new truck loadout system that includes 16 batching bins, a 6 ton traveling open-top weigh lorry (NTEP certified), a Schlagel 16 duct distributor and numerous conveyors.
As a second phase of a facility expansion project, ESI added a new 30' x 20' x 14' deep truck receiving pit with a fully-integrated 20,000 CFM dust system and fully enclosed building.The new pit includes six dust pickups, a ladder gate including 4 openings along with an Andco actuator allowing for percentage control of the inbound grain flow. The hopper feeds a pair of 20,000 BPH Hawthorne-Seving drag conveyors that transfer grain to a 20,000 BPH Hawthorne-Seving receiving leg (constructed during phase I of the project).
ESI provided and installed (49) BS&B explosion suppression and isolation cannons and (13) Triplex Explosion Pressure sensors at this major Ohio grain terminal facility.
The explosion suppression cannon modules propel an extinguishing agent into the developing fireball of an explosion. After an explosion has been successfully contained by discharge of the cannon modules, they can be refitted on-site. Components necessary for refit can be kept on-site without the need for special licensing for storage or handling. The original cannon and sensor modules can be refurbished, avoiding the need for a complete exchange of hardware. This capability significantly reduces the cost of ownership of the BS&B IPD explosion suppression system.
