The Upgrade Continues: RICE HANDLER ADDS MORE STORAGE SEPARATIONS, DRYING, HANDLING CAPACITY

摘要

When Tubbs Rice and Grain in 2009 replaced a 500,000-bushel tank that had been lost in a fire with a 750,000-bushel steel tank and new pit and leg, that was just the start of the improvements at the rice dryer location southeast of Mer Rouge, LA (318-647-3730). (See the May/June 2010 issue of Grain Journal for an account of that project.) Improvements at the site in 2011 include the addition of 300,000 bushels worth of additional steel storage, a second 10,000-bph dryer, a second receiving pit, fournew legs with related conveying equipment, and a new aspirator for rice cleaning.
