Liquid System with Container Filling & Unstaffed Operation
Project: Heritage Cooperative, Marysville, Ohio
OVERVIEW
To meet the challenging goals of Heritage Cooperative, Kahler Automation designed a facility that included a 24/7 unstaffed loadout bay with technology that enables customers to pick up fertilizer 24 hours a day.
A 200-ton blend tower with 3-ton High Intensity Mixer was developed with Kahler designing a liquid impregnation system. Liquids can be sprayed simultaneously so speed is not compromised when impregnating.
Kahler Automation's grain system allows the entire grain operation to be monitored and controlled from anywhere on the control network. Grain can be moved anywhere in the facility by multiple source/destination selections, controlled by a touchscreen, requiring only one person.
Dry Fertilizer Storage - The facility has a storage capacity of 28,000 tons of dry fertilizer.
Grain Storage Silo - The facility has a grain storage capacity of 3.3 million bushels.
Liquid Fertilizer Storage - The facility can store 10,800 total tons of liquid fertilizer.
Motor Control Center - Kahler's Motor Control Center (MCC) are assembled and quality tested in-house.
Dry Fertilizer Conveyor - The facility has a dry fertilizer receiving capacity of 700 tons per hour, and loadout of 185 TPH.
Reclaim System - Kahler Automation panels control reclaim systems, micro bins, distributors, and more.
Touchscreen Interface - Kahler Automation's 24/7 unstaffed load-out system features a large touchscreen interface.
Mini-Bulk Filling - The facility features mini-bulk filling and container tracking, controlled by Kahler systems.
Liquid Tank - A two-million-gallon tank is double-walled and located within the confines of a concrete dike.
Rail Receiving - A loop track design gives the facility the ability to receive and ship products by unit train capacity.
