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.

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.

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.

Taking A Grain Facility To The Next Level

This aging grain terminal facility had untapped potential for this Midwest cooperative. ESI was hired to handle the series of expansion projects where (3) 90' diameter and (2) 105' diameter steel bins were added along with a new 30,000 BPH truck receiving/grain transfer system, dust system, and upgraded 30,000 BPH Hi-Roller transfer conveyors.
