Replacement Silo Hoppers & Gates
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.

Custom Fabricated Open Y-Valve
ESI's fabrication experts work hand-in-hand with our design professionals to create precise, custom bulk material handling components tailored to our customers' specific needs. Absolute attention to detail is a critical element in ESI's design-build approach. This 24" x 18" 20,000 BPH open Y-valve is lined with TIVAR, a UHMW material with a very low friction coefficient - ideal to promote grain flow in applications where vertical fall is limited. After this valve is fabricated, it will be fitted with dual electric rack & pinion gates and installed by our seasoned millwrights.

Custom Heavy Commercial Material Handling
We've been designing, fabricating and installing heavy commercial structural and material handling equipment for over four decades. Our equipment is built-to-last for commercial facilities like this grain terminal. Our recent projects include our in-house designed and manufactured bridges, support towers, conveyors, bucket elevators, gates, valves, and much more.

20,000 BPH Hawthorne-Seving Leg
Increased Material Handling Capacity and Flexibility
This project included our 30,000 BPH Hawthorne-Seving drag conveyors, bucket elevator, and bridges — designed and fabricated at our facility in Beaverdam, Ohio, and installed onsite by our millwright crews in time for fall harvest.
