Five Star Cooperative states, "We have the capability to produce anywhere from 1,200 to 1,4000 tons a day, possible more depending on order sizes" says (Jeff) Hageman. "Double what we were producing in our old mill." After (ground corn) is mixed, the feed moves into one of 15 finished feed bins, each capable of holding 32 tons of finished feed.
A loadout system, comprised of parts from The Cleveland Vibrator Company, Tom-Cin Metals and C&A Scale Services, loads the finished feed into one of Five Star's 10 trucks. Hageman expects the mill to be mixing feed 20 hours/day if there is a high enough demand, with trucks loading finished feed 24 hours/day.
