SPECIALTIES FEATURED WITH THIS PROJECT:
Process Controls System Integration
- Egan Company integrated automation of a new 801,000-bushel bin, more than doubling CHS previous storage capacity and moving product to barges and rail cars more efficiently.
- Egan installed two new motor control centers for product supply and control motors for conveyance to-and-from the new bin.
- New controls were also added to replace aspects of the existing system for monitoring bearing temperature and belt alignment, continuous level/point level indication, gates, and aeriation.
- Egan has been working with CHS since 1999 when it delivered a total system upgrade, installing new ControlLogix and RSView software.
- The facility can now efficiently store and manage about 1.36 million bushels of grain product.
