Efficiency Upgrade

摘要

When Kokomo Grain Inc. decided to add some storage capacity to its rail-loading elevator at Edinburgh, IN (812-526-5574) in 2010, the compa y didn't mess around. The single new tank jumpform concrete tank constructed this year at Edinburgh is a monster- standing 90 feet in diameter and 160 feet tall, its rated capacity is 845,000 bushels. That's enough to fill between two and three unit trains, and that also was the point of adding such a large tank, says Kokomo Grain General Manager Tom Madru. At Edinburgh, Kokomo Grain loads trains on the Louisville and Indiana Railroad, a short-line with connections to the Norfolk Southern and the CSX at Louisville, KY.
