CHS – Debottlenecking

Corval was contracted for upgrades to the packaging area of the CHS, Inc. facility located in South Sioux City, Nebraska. This project included the installation of new equipment to supply food safe finished product at an increased rate of 12,000 lbs./hr and involved the replacement of existing processing equipment. To support the replacement/relocation of the equipment, this project included demolition and construction of new Airlocks, Bag & Tote Reclaim, Lecithin, Anti Foam, and Boot Wash rooms. A new Blower Room for the consolidation of the pneumatic blowers was also constructed. Construction activities were scheduled to minimize the impact to the operation of the facility and many were completed prior to and in conjunction with planned outages including the main plant shutdown period. The majority of the existing equipment relocation and installation took place during the 3 week main plant shutdown.
