"We at Cook's believe there-
is a great future for Ontario
white beans," stated Harry
Adamson, vice-president and
general. manager of Cook's
Division of Gerbro Corp. as
the firm's new plant at'Cen-
(ratio was opened for business
this week.
The plant, located on the
Mt. Carmel Road just west of'
Highway 4, was jointly
designed by Cook's and
Dorssers Welding Co, Ltd, of
Rlenheim.
It is designed to receive,
clean, dry, store, process and
ship wheat, malting barley,
white beans and corn,
The firm has similar
facilities at 'Hensall.
There are several in-
teresting and unique features
incorporated into the design
of the plant,
Of particular interest to
area farmers is the hydraulic
dumper unit that is capable of
raising and unloading various
sizes of trucks from large
semitrailers to small pickups
in a matter of minutes.
Lineups of vehicles waiting
to be unloaded will be a thing
of the past.
To match. the speed of this
dumper unit, a 750-bushel
receiving pit is used to feed
two large, high-speed
cleaners and a large receiving
scale. These are all rated to
receive up to 4,000 bushels per
hour.
The drying unit, designed
an'd built by Dorssers
Welding, is the largest grain
dryer designed and built in
Canada. It is natural gas fired
with a fuel requirement of 20
million B.T.U.s.
The multi fan system
moves 210,000 cubic feet of air
per minute,
The complete system is
operated by automatic con-
trols to give efficient drying
of various grains over a wide
moisture range.
One of the most interesting
features of this new plant is
the vertical bean processing
tower, another first of its kind
in Canada. Most systems are
horizontal.
This unit was designed to
process white beans with the
absolute minimum of
handling and damage to the
seed coats of beans.
The processing tower
reaches a height of 150 feet
and it contains five floors of
machinery that perform all
the operations required to up-
grade the beans to a canning
quality standard on a con-
tinuous flow basis.
There are special machines
for such operations as
recleaning, destoning,
polishing, gravity separating,
