Heat with Corn!

? ,
Burn Shelled Corn In This Biomass Furnace
A BETTER ALTERNATIVE
The corn burning furnace has many advantages
over wood and coal heat The large storage bin
holds up to 14 bushels of fuel, which is automati
cally fed into the combustion chamber as needed
There’s no need to load the furnace several times
a day The use of corn also eliminates the bark
mess, insects, splinters, and handling problems
connected with the use of wood fuel, and the dust
and dirt from coal UL Approved

- Ceiling systems designed for your dairy, swine, and poultry facilities, as well -
as shops, warehouses, garages, arenas, and more.
Tired of working in a
cold, noisy shop?
These ceiling systems
are designed to hold
any amount of insula
tion, and with insulation
above, produce sound
reduction qualities much
greater than steel
Is the banding in your
hog or poultry barn
deteriorating?
Let us replace them
with our heavier poly
ester bands which do
not stretch or become
brittle over time.
Providing the Ag industry with a very durable, attractive, waterproof, noncorrosive, alternative
to conventional ceilings at a fraction of the cost.
