"A second shift was added because reduced dependence on trucks to provide the cement allowed us to work 16 hours a day"

"Productivity improved so we added Trans-Flo systems throughout..."

said E. David Stallings, Operations Manager, Medina Supply Co., Medina Ohio

Medina Supply, operating 10 ready-mix plants and 2 block plants around Medina/Akron, Ohio, tried out 5 Trans-Flo pneumatic unloaders. The 40 hp motor blowers move fly ash and cement from bulk tanker trucks to storage silos. TFC unloaders can empty the average bulk tanker 15 minutes faster than a turbo conveyor.

Results were so satisfactory, Medina Supply soon installed a total of 9 unloaders and 16 Trans-Flo pneumatic transfer systems throughout their operation. The feeders move materials from storage to batch plants.

Operations manager, Dave Stallings praised the Trans-Flo unit's productivity. In one example, "A second shift was added because reduced dependence on trucks to provide the cement allowed us to work 16 hours a day."

Reduced maintenance is another benefit. TFC feeders are lined with industrial hard chrome. "That extends service life and helps us reduce downtime," Stallings said. "Our success depends on staying one step ahead in technology and Trans-Flo helped us do it."
