In Production

The plant is up and running pretty good now.  Gerrit says that they have made 73,000 gal of Sure-K this week.  The first batch made up there was right to specifications and the system continues to improve the accuracy as batches are made. 

Below you can see the framing is done for the packaging room.  This should be complete next week.
 This is a shot of the touch screen.  All of the valves, pumps and motors are operable with the touch of a finger.  There are valve position sensors that change the valve picture from red to green when the valve is sensed open.  This ensures that no valves get stuck to cause cross contamination.  It is very configurable and has a great deal of flexibility for future expansion.
 You remember the steps that Ron Davis put together for the truck loadout.  They are in place now and with a few finishing touches, will be ready to go.  They look great and are very functional.
 Paul checked them out and says that they meet his approval.  He would be glad to help by spinning the wheel to get the bridge extended out to the vans.
 Below is the inside of the truck loadout.  Needs a few finishing touches.  Everything done thus far had to be done from a ladder so it should finish up quickly.  They are loading trucks outside now.  The programmers have to put together the loadout touch screen outside to help us do mixes better.  They will then move inside to get this one working.  It should be a much needed improvement to the system that we currently have.
 The driver's lounge is coming together well.
 This is the hallway into the employee break room.
 Break Room Kitchen
 Logistics office.  Flooring is getting aclimated so that it can go down next week.
 Site Manager office.
Stay Tuned, lots to come in the next few weeks.  I am realizing right now that I forgot to get a good picture of the finished scales.  I will try to remember to get that done for next time.  The grass is also starting to come up so another outisde picture should look nice soon.
