- Recently KSU invited their donors and vendors to visit the site of what the university describes as the new O.H. Kruse Technology Innovation Center. One after another, over a period of four days, supplier representatives were called in to monitor and check out the performance of the equipment that they had supplied.
- SCAFCO Grain Systems made an important donation of grain storage bins and grain handling equipment to the facility. The feed mill will be part of the Feed Science and Management program at KSU. The equipment will support programs at both the Animal Science and Grain Science departments and the storage bins donated by SCAFCO will serve both for ingredient storage and for conducting large-scale grain storage quality preservation research.
- In response to the KSU vendor check-off invitation, SCAFCO sent a company sales manager accompanied by an engineering manager to commission the hopper bottom bins, chain conveyors, bucket elevators, catwalks and accessories. The SCAFCO team has verified proper assembly and functioning of the bins and equipment. The SCAFCO equipment supplied to the O.H. Kruse Technology Innovation Center is now ready to be put into service.
- KSU has planned a ribbon-cutting ceremony for October 11th where stakeholders, donors, vendors, and the public will be invited to visit the site and see the new center in operation.
