PROJECT: Heritage Cooperative, Marysville, OH

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.

Partners: Stueve Construction (dry fertilizer design & construction) / AJ Sackett & Sons (blend tower) / A&B Welding (process plumbing)
