Project Overview

A confidential distilled spirits manufacturer needed to upgrade its grain receiving and milling to support higher production and future growth. The project added new grain storage and material handling equipment, a dust collection system, a four-roller mill, and a small-adds grain hopper, all integrated with the existing facility.

Scope of Work

Matrix Technologies provided engineering, procurement, and construction support from equipment specification through commissioning, including:

• Project design basis and installation plan for new grain storage silos, chain and puck conveyors, dust collection, the four-roller mill, and the small-adds hopper
• Complete facility design, including an evaluation of whether the existing foundations could carry the new silo loads, plus silo specifications and anchoring details
• Vendor drawing reviews and equipment coordination
• Demolition of existing structures and equipment and integration of the new systems
• Controls, PLC, and HMI development
• Procurement, project management, construction management, and commissioning

Project Results

The facility's grain receiving, storage, material handling, and milling systems are upgraded and working as part of the existing operation. The client now has more production capacity to support future growth.
