Modernization Nears Completion at Tripoli Grain & Feed
A major modernization of gun drying and corn handling at Tripoli Grain and Feed is nearly finished. The automated system dumps incoming corn into an underground pit, elevates it to the main leg, and directs it to a dryer or six storage bins. The 86 foot main leg, a six-bin network, and auger transfers enable reduced manual labor. The new automatic dryer handles 11,400 bushels daily with 10 million BTU gas burners, plus a 380 bushel single-load capacity and about 55,000 bushels storage total.
