Truck Receiving Pit With Integrated Dust System
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 enclosed steel 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).

Increased Storage To Meet Increased Yields
Steel grain storage was added to this cooperative's facility in several phases, including a 157’ diameter bin, (2) 105’ diameter bins, and (2) 62’ diameter bins, totaling 3,320,000 additional bushels. As each bin was constructed, it was built with potential future expansion in mind — optimal site layout and material handling integration.

Storage & Rail Loadout Expansions
ESI considers repeat business to be the ultimate complement and indicative of our relationship with our customers. For this operation, ESI has been involved in numerous upgrades from material handling to storage to a new 80,000 BPH rail loadout system.

10,000 BPH Grain Drying System
ESI constructed one of the first Zimmerman 10,000 BPH grain dryers in the country after the new product was announced. Also included in this new grain drying system is a 56' diameter concrete wet silo and a 20,000 BPH Hawthorne-Seving wet grain bucket elevator.
