Who We Are Our History
 

Our Facility

OUR 15-ACRE FACILITY IS LOCATED IN THE HEART OF RURAL AMERICA - OLNEY, TEXAS - WHERE WE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE ALL OF OUR EQUIPMENT FROM THE GROUND UP.

Our first building was actually built by our founder, who was an accomplished carpenter, in 1975 and is still in use to this day. Over the years we have grown our facility to over 50,000 square feet, and we are proud to have an experienced team of professionals working together to build a quality product. We would love the opportunity to schedule a factory tour and share a meal with you! Keep scrolling to read about our departments.

Raw Material Processing

CEMCO processes high quality, made in the USA, steel in order to build our products. All beams are cut to length and angle in our saw shop and supplied to the appropriate department as needed. CNC Plasma, lathes, and milling machines are used to supply 2D and 3D parts. We work hard to ensure that quality starts from the very first time a piece of material is handled.

Frame Department

CEMCO frames are built by hand in three different sizes based upon the number of aggregate bins, either 2, 3, or 4. In addition to our batch plant frames, we have auxiliary silo and central mixer frames that are assembled within the same department. All frames are cross checked prior to being completely welded out and care is taken to introduce heat properly, such that it does not warp the end product. After completion, a supervisor signs off on the finished frame before it is allowed to leave to get paired with a silo.

Silo Department

CEMCO currently builds three silo configurations, a 325 barrel (58-ton), a 470 barrel (75-ton), and a 325 barrel + 216 barrel 60/40 (58-ton/35-ton) split silo with 4” partition wall. All silos are fully assembled and welded inside and out. Each silo wall consists of 2-pieces, each with a 4” interior break that gets seam welded together for increased strength. In addition, CEMCO adds two 4” wall gussets on the center of each of the 2 wall pieces.

Finally, there are twelve ¾” steel rods that span the width of the silo gussets to help the silo keep its shape after years of use. Once completed, a weld supervisor will inspect the silo before it is able to be paired with a frame.

Paint department

Once the metal work is completed, the equipment is moved into our Paint Department. Before getting painted, the metal is all hand blasted with an abrasive in order to get rid of mill scale and create a bonding profile on the surface of the metal. First, the equipment gets completely painted with an epoxy primer that is allowed to dry before being recoated with our CEMCO Gray polysiloxane topcoat. The entire process takes 3-4 days to complete, and the result is a quality paint job that not only looks great, but also will protect the equipment from corrosion.

Final Assembly

Once the equipment is painted, it gets completed in final assembly. An experienced team installs all the components, wires, plumbs, and does the initial run up on the equipment.

Quality Control

Once a machine has been function tested and a preliminary in-shop inspection has been completed, it is able to move outside for a final quality control inspection and test. A single employee will oversee a multipage inspection document where all items are checked, tested, and signed off one-by-one.

 

 We’d love to meet you and schedule a tour of our facility in person.
