Featured Project: JFS Milling located in Bruceville, IN Increases Their Pelleting Capabilities
‘I was extremely pleased with the entire project. They did a very good job of ensuring the subcontractors were meeting or exceeding our expectations. All subcontractors and WL Port-Land personnel conducted themselves safely and efficiently.
The start-up was also very smooth. They produced solutions to any problems and made corrections quickly to meet our expectations of performance.
WL Port-Land provided excellent communication and some of the finest subcontractor laborers I’ve worked with in my many years working in feed mills.'

JFS Milling, Inc. and WL Port-Land Systems, Inc. (WLPLS) first partnered together close to 20 years ago on the design build of a new Feed Mill located in Dubois, Indiana. Since then, our companies have successfully completed multiple Feed Mill renovation projects as well as a second new Feed Mill project in Bruceville, Indiana.
Most recently, in support of JFS Milling’s increased pelleting production requirements, our companies teamed up again for the engineering and installation of an additional pelleting line at the Bruceville, IN. Feed Mill. We are proud to report that through the collaborative efforts of both JFS Milling’s Bruceville and WLPLS teams, the pellet line project was completed on time and within budget. Thank You….JFS Milling!

A: to design a silo that will reliably store and discharge your material over the long term, you need to gather a range of information. Last issue, we discussed material to be stored and required storage capacity. In this second of two parts, we'll cover required openings, peripheral and imposed loads, geographical location, and soil conditions.
