PROJECT DETAILS:

Ag Processing Inc (AGP) sought to improve traffic flow, grain receiving efficiency, and sampling operations at its Hastings, Nebraska facility through the installation of a new truck scale, automated sampling equipment, and remote ticketing system. The project included an above-ground 80' x 11' Rice Lake Survivor OTR steel truck scale with a 270,000-pound gross weight capacity, providing a durable and reliable weighing solution for high-volume agricultural operations. CR Manufacturing installed a new Shuttle II grain probe, relocated an existing Shuttle II probe closer to the scale office, and integrated the system with AGP's MCI Kicker. Additional enhancements included new overhead structures, signal lighting, and remote ticketing technology to streamline truck movement and sampling operations. These improvements increased truck processing capacity by approximately 40%, helping reduce congestion and improve overall facility efficiency.
