Marketed as the “smartest” declining weight blend system, this site’s multihop- per setup was also equipped with the LEC control panel. The setup can unload a semi in 8 minutes. The tripper is remote- controlled, and Adams provided the galva- nized stainless tower stand and staircase. The integrated Adams Blender Load-Out Conveyors come stan- dard with a stainless steel assembly and can be matched for efficient capacities. The anhydrous load- ing platforms feature swing-away arms to ease loading. The setup allows for filling 8 singles and a double simultaneously. 5 REASONS TO LOVE THIS FACILITY 1 THE SITE SHINED IN ITS FIRST SEASON Feb. 18 is when the first load of fertilizer was put into the new dry shed with 3,600-ton capacity.
