Multi-million dollar plant expansion
SHIREMANSTOWN -
The Ralston Purina recently
completed a multi-million
dollar expansion and
renovation at its Harrisburg
Chow plant.
A new Toledo com
puterized batch mixing
system was installed. This
new mixing system along
with 13 new K-tron feeders,
and a program controller
now give Harrisburg the
capacity to have ingredient
accuracy to within one-tenth
of a period.
To unprove efficiency and
insure quality, a completely
new gram receiving station
was built. A new automatic
gram probe was installed
and each gram shipment is
checked before it is
unloaded.
John Zerbe, director of
operations at the Harrisburg
Chow plant, said the
manufacture of high quality
feeds with cost efficient
computerized milking
equipment will allow
Harrisburg Chow plant to
produce high quality Puma
Chows and give value to
their Purina customers.
