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.
Heavy commercial structural and material handling
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.

Custom Material Handling Manufacturing
For over four decades, our manfacturing company, Hawthorne-Seving, has been creating heavy commercial equipment for a wide variety of applications. Here are two custom design-built, clean-in-place processing conveyors for the feed industry.

Upgraded Bulkweigher & Rail Spout
To increase the capacity of their rail loadout system, this major grain company contracted ESI to replace their 10,000 BPH bulkweigher with a new Compuweigh 40,000 BPH rail loadout bulkweigher scale. Rail cars are loaded through our custom Hawthorne-Seving hydraulically-operated spout that can retract/expand 3 ft. vertically and pivot upward providing 23 ft. of total clearance.
