Out with the old, in with the new! Crews recently started demoing equipment and structures as part of a new bulk weigher project for Crystal Valley Cooperative.

Bigger, faster, stronger! The old bulk weigher lifespan was at end of service and rated at 60,000 bushels per hour, while the new bulk weigher will be able to load rail cars at 80,000 bushels per hour. This will be accomplished in conjunction between existing and new material handling equipment from Warrior Mfg., LLC.
