The Consolidated Grain project consisted of eight 32-foot tanks with interstices 117 feet tall. The facility can receive grain by truck and rail (100 car trains) at 30,000 bushel per hour. The receiving system features two 1,000-bushel truck pits and one rail pit. Each truck pit feeds a 15,000-bushel-per-hour leg. Barge loadout capacity with automatic sampling is 30,000 bushel per hour. An identical belt fed by a stationary crane unloads bulk materials from barges to truck or rail. Operational features include:

• Direct transfer from truck or rail to barge or elevator.
• Reclaim from storage to barge without elevation.
• Loadout truck or rail from storage.
• Gravity flow distribution to storage.
• 3,000-bushel-per-hour drying capacity.
