District Grain Mills Expand
To Handle Extra Produce

years
Grain mills in this district are expanding to keep pace
with the increased production of the farming community.
Newr plants at Hensall and Lucan are designed to
handle more produce with greater speed and efficiency.
Modern equipment eliminates almost all hand-labor in
these new processing and storage plants. Most of the opera
tions are handled by machinery.
Networks of elevators and screws permit movement of
grain horizontally and vertically by the flip of switches and
operation of levers. Plant layouts are designed for economy
of space and time,
The two plants visited by The Times-Advocate re
cently are‘W. G. Thompson & Sons, Hensall, and Scott’s

fall, is

Ontario.
To the
increased efficiency of the plant
is easy to spot. Last year, a line
of trucks several blocks long
waited to get produce into the
mill during the rush season. This
year, the trucks come in just as
fast but they don’t wait nearly
as long.
The four receiving units are
complete in themselves but are
coordinated to fit into the gene
ral structure of the mill. Each
unit has its own receiving pit
(with a hydraulic truck lift),
cleaner, weigh scale and elevator
legs to move the grain.
Botli the belt speed and the
size of the buckets have been
increased in the elevators so
that they can move 30 bushels
a minute—almost as fast as the
grain can come in.
The whole network of legs,
and screw conveyors is designed
to eliminate any handling of the
grain by men—it’s all done by
machines operated, for the most
part, from the main floor.
Grain can be transported to
any of the 18 storage tanks to
cleaners, weigh scales, railroad
cars or drying plant by convey
ors.
New equipment included in
the plant includes a corn shelter
and grain drying plant.
New features accent fire pro
tection. Fire doors, steel and
cement ’structure, dust-proof
electrical service room eliminate
many of the hazards
catch fire.
The plant includes
storage tanks with a
100,000 bushels.
The resident manager is
George Thompson, who has lived
in Hensall over 20 years.

Lucan Mill Features
Modern Machinery
Extensive overhauling and ad
ditions to Scott’s Elevator at
Lucan will soon establish it as
one of the most modern and
efficient in Western Ontario.
Now well on the way towards
completion, the renovated plant
will be opened .to the public at
an official’ ceremony on or about
October 15.
Besides a complete new mill
for handling grain, the innova
tions include four pieces , of
machinery believed the largest,
or first installed in the district.
A new truck weighing scale,
which measures 34 feet in
length and includes a grain re
ceiving pit, records minutely
weighs varying from the slight
pressure of an inch-square of
paper to a loaded truck of 60,-
00'0 pounds. A significant feat
ure about the scale is that the
trucker can see the actual weigh
ing through a
structure.
Unfortunately,
large size and
ficiency of the
Lucan and surrounding com
munity believe the scale will’be
available for use by the public.
However, Erwin
of the business,
the scales are
private use only
available to the public because of
the firm’s own demands.
Connected to the weigh scales
and receiving pit will be a power
lift capable of handling
as heavy as 40 ton.
A new double-show
cleaner has been installed
is belived to be the first
kind in the district. Because of
its duplicity it can handle two
types of grain at once, or clean
one grain at double the capacity
of ordinary cleaners.
From the cleaner, grain will
be weighed on an automatic
scale, also believed to be the
first of its kind in the vicinity.
