With an Adams dry fertilizer impregnation system, the crew uses products such as Titan XC to maximize the customers’ return on dry fertilizer.
Marketed as the “smartest” declining weight blend system, this site’s multihop-per setup was also equipped with the LEC control panel.
The setup can unload a semi in 8 minutes. The tripper is remote-controlled, and Adams provided the galva-nized stainless tower stand and staircase.
The integrated Adams Blender Load-Out Conveyors come stan-dard with a stainless steel assembly and can be matched for efficient capacities.
The anhydrous load-ing platforms feature swing-away arms to ease loading. The setup allows for filling 8 singles and a double simultaneously.
