HSG is an established and fully integrated seed cleaning business with 458,000± bushel of storage located in Flagler, CO. This modern cleaning and handling facility – built in 2021 and brought online in 2022 – cleans, handles, and processes primarily wheat and Proso millet via a system of unloading/loading augers, legs, and conveyors, air screen cleaner, gravity tables, length graders, cyclones, dust system, bagger & seed treater. All of this is accomplished while operating efficiently with minimum labor and maintenance and the flexibility to process and switch between commodities, preventing cross-contamination with 20+ bins to segregate product. Processed product is then shipped via bulk, bags, tote and/or container. Centrally located within the High Plains of Colorado, HSG draws from a 100-mile radius established producer customer base, which they custom clean for, purchase from, and sell seed wheat and Proso millet to. In addition, they have contracts to grow, clean and sell foundation, registered, and certified wheat seed. The facility’s strategic location gives flexibility to adjust and customize to the market needs of the geographic area. HSG is situated within ¾ mile of I-70 and within 100± miles of Denver’s Intermodal facilities, providing access to regional, national, and international markets for processed Proso millet for birdseed, pet food, and more.
Facilities include: (2) 500-bushel drive-over pits; (2) 90’± grain legs that move seed to either 1 of 4 – 25,000 bushel bins or seed cleaner or 3,500 bushel Behlen overhead bin for bulk loadout or 450 bushel bagging bin or back to 1 of 4 – 25,000 bushels grain bins. The legs are on VFD (variable frequency drives) to control flow rate. Grain & seed can also be conveyed from storage (1 of 4 – 25,000-bushel bins) into the cleaning line. Each of the (4) 25,000-bushel Eaton grain bins equipped with pit floors, 8” unloading augers, 2 – aeration tube ventilation.
50’ x 100’ Behlen Quonset houses the cleaning facilities and warehousing. Concrete loading dock with adjustable ramp and 10’ x 10’ electric overhead door – adjacent 14’ x 12’ wide electric overhead door.
Grain & seed cleaning line begins with Cimbria model 107 air screen cleaner – (600 to 800 bushels/hour – wheat & millet). Cleaned grain from the air screen cleaner is transferred via leg to either (2) (2021) Oliver model 241 gravity tables or to Chantland clean grain conveyor. The clean grain from the gravity tables flows onto the inside Chantland clean grain conveyor. The high side of the gravity tables fall onto a LMC destoner for further separation of heavy impurities (rocks, etc.).
Once the clean grain is on the inside Chantland clean grain conveyor it is conveyed via leg to either a 450 bushel bagging bin or a set of 2 – 92 Cimbria model HSR 12020 length graders or to an outside/overhead Chantland conveyor going back to the outside clean leg directing cleaned grain to storage bins or 3,500 bushel overhead loadout bin. If the clean grain goes to the Cimbria length graders, the clean grain drops into leg to either the 450 bushel bagging bin or to outside bulk containers (truck, etc.). From the length graders, clean grain cannot be directed back to the storage bins.
450-bushel cone-bottom holding-surge bin with a Magnum TE-100 electric bagging scale – bags drop onto a Chantland bag conveyor – moves bags into Fischbein 400 bag feeder – sewed with Fischbein 100 sewing head – bags drop onto incline conveyor to be placed on pallet setting on pneumatic stacking table. Once pallet is stacked – it is moved via forklift to a Wolftee automatic stretch wrapper. The pallet of bagged seed is then ready for shipping and/or warehouse storage.
Discarded grain or seed from air screen cleaner, gravity tables or length graders becomes tailings drops onto a Chantland conveyor moving the tailings to another Chantland conveyor; then setting under a Behlen cone bottom bin and dust cyclone feeding a 40’± leg elevating tailings going into either a 3,500-bushel Behlen cone bottom bin or spouted to a bulk container (truck, etc.). The same conveyer and leg are used to deposit tailings in a bulk container (truck, etc.).
Dust control system inside the quonset pulls dust from the cleaning equipment via a 40 CFM fan setting on top of the cyclone.
(8) 18,000-bushel Eaton grain bins – (2) 60,000-bushel Eaton grain bins – 27,000-bushel Eaton grain bin – Concrete pit floors.
Grain is dumped into the drive-over pit onto chain drag conveyor moving grain via 90’ grain leg and distributed to the desired bin via 8” downspouts at 3,000-bushels per hour. Two east 60,000-bushels bins and north 27,000-bushel grain bins can be loaded directly by a portable auger and bypass the pit-leg loading system. 10” unloading augers to move grain to the leg for unloading. The two east 60,000-bushel grain bins – 12” unloading auger bypassing the leg. Each bin – 3 tubes with aeration fans.
(3) 13,000-bushel grain bins with 8” center unloading augers and tube aeration.
(2) 14,000-bushel Behlen seed storage grain bins full aeration floor and 8” center unloading auger.
