Salina Vortex's Seal Tite Technology Prevents Loadout Contamination

From Vortex Valves, a Division of Salina Vortex Corporation
 

 
With a total production capacity of 20,000 cwts. of flour per day, ADM Milling Co.'s flour mill at North Kansas City, MO, also produces a large volume of millfeed, both in mash and pelleted form. The mill ships millfeed by both truck and rail through the same loadout system, using a two-way diverter to route millfeed either to a semi truck or a covered hopper railcar. Because ADM Milling sells more than one type and grade of millfeed, it's important not to have cross-contamination between different grades of millfeed. An airtight seal on the diverter is critical to preventing that sort of contamination, says Project Engineer Rick Corbett, at ADM Milling's engineering center in Salina, KS. The company was quite interested when Salina Vortex Corp., Salina, announced the development of its new Seal TiteTM two-way gravity diverter valves. "They're located right in the same town with us," Corbett says, "and they showed us what they were working on (during product development). We were definitely interested."
