Overview:

River Valley Co-op's old area had a worn down feed mill with very little storage capacity. They needed more grain storage and a faster receiving system. The old area was in the way of new traffic flow.

Design Specifications:

  • First part of a five step plan to increase storage capacities and improve traffic flow during the busy harvest season.
  • Added 350,000 bushels of storage with a 78' dia x 31 ring GSI commercial grain storage bin.
  • Added a 15,000 bushel per hour receiving leg with a pit drag to feed new bin.
  • Added a 10,000 bushel per hour reversing drag conveyor to tie new system into existing concrete elevator.
  • Setup area to install future 90' dia x 31 ring (500,000 bushel capacity) GSI grain storage bin.

Benefits to the Client:

  • Increased receiving capabilities.
  • Improved traffic flow.
  • Increased storage capacity.

Time frame:

  • Project was quoted in approx. 4 weeks.
  • Layout took 1 week.
  • Project was completed well ahead of harvest in approx. 14 weeks.
