- 5,000-Gallon Blender/Reactor
We are currently installing a five thousand-gallon, steam-jacketed blender/reactor using computer-controlled load-cells.
When completed in May 2002, the reactor will improve the blended consistency of surfactant dust control products, enable large-scale production of high-shear cement additive emulsions, and de-bottleneck dust control production capacity.
- Batchmaster Computer Program
The Batchmaster program will print work orders, relieve inventory, prepare bills of lading, and invoice from a single purchase order entry. After two years of data entry and software installation, the system has been successfully running in parallel for 120 days without incident. The program will go live on April 1, 2002.
- 250 Horsepower, High Pressure Boiler
This second boiler allows rapid heating of raw materials inbound via railcar.
- Second Rail Spur
The second rail spur was rebuilt and available for service in October 2001. The second spur increases the railcar storage capacity to 18 cars and improves switching flexibility
