Building Milling Excellence in Washington
APEX Industrial is proud to play a part in the successful completion of a state-of-the-art greenfield feed mill location designed and manufactured for El Oro Cattle Feeders in Moses Lake, Washington. At the heart of this feed mill APEX designed the main tower, measuring 16x18 feet and rising to a height of 145 feet. This robust structure is designed with precision, featuring seven platforms and a staircase to facilitate efficient operation and maintenance. The Main Tower supports:
- Two Bucket Elevators
- One Swingset Distributor
- Two Hopper Tanks
- Two Combination Scalper/Screeners
- Two Mixing Augers
- Grain Fill & Processing Bridges
In addition to the Main Tower, APEX Industrial engineered and manufactured a range of supportive structures to ensure the seamless function of the feed mill. Key components include:
- Steam Chest Support Towers: Engineered to hold the steam chest securely, optimizing the milling process.
- Ladder Systems: Allowing safe and convenient access to elevated areas for maintenance and monitoring.
- Handrail Trusses and Outrigger Trusses: Enhancing safety and stability throughout the facility.
- Catwalk Support Towers: Providing necessary support for catwalks that facilitate movement around the plant.
- Bin Peak Supports: Ensuring the integrity and safety of the grain storage bins.
Regency Mill Services served as the project manager and millwright, handling the erection of the structures. Marcos Valenzuela, Project Manager at Regency Mill Services, emphasized the quality of APEX’s work, stating, "durable design meets effortless installation." This collaboration ensured that every component was installed with precision and efficiency.
