FWS Group developed the Inland Grain Terminal with a focus on improving grain storage, handling, and processing capabilities. The facility is engineered to manage large volumes of grain efficiently, supporting high-throughput operations for a streamlined distribution process.

The primary goal of the Inland Grain Terminal project was to enhance the operational efficiency of grain storage and handling. This involved building a facility with high storage capacity, fast grain intake and shipping systems, and a dedicated grain cleaning line to ensure optimal quality and efficiency.

Key features of the Inland Grain Terminal include:

• Concrete and Steel Storage Bins: The facility includes six concrete silos with inner stice bins and six steel bins, offering a total storage capacity of 2.68 million bushels. This flexible configuration accommodates various grain types and ensures ample space.
• Receiving Capacity: Tandem receiving driveways allow the facility to receive grain at a rate of 40,000 bushels per hour, improving intake efficiency.
• Rail Car Shipping: The terminal features a high-capacity rail car shipping system, capable of loading 80,000 bushels per hour using twin 250 HP Nordstrong legs, streamlining the shipping process and reducing turnaround times.
• Grain Cleaning Line: A dedicated grain cleaning line, with a capacity of 10,000 bushels per hour, ensures incoming grain is cleaned before storage or shipment, maintaining high-quality standards.

The Inland Grain Terminal project successfully increased storage and handling capacity, enabling faster grain intake and shipping. The integration of a grain cleaning line also ensured that grain quality was maintained throughout the process. Overall, the facility supports high-efficiency grain management, enhancing both storage and distribution operations.
