Included in the mechanical scheme are two Boilerroom Equipment Inc. HeatSponge units, which recover flue gas heat otherwise released. They contrib- ute to heating system efficiency around 90 percent. The Sidekick Water Boiler Economizer (center, w/recycling symbol label) is for condensing and non-condensing. Pennsylvania-based Boilerroom Equipment notes that the Sidekick can bring condensing efficiency to conventional boilers. The bins feed a skip hoist bucket sized to transfer the full ag- gregate requirements for each batch loaded into the Voeller Cy- clo-Mixer 1855VB, with 6-yd. mixing tank and 5-yd. output. The three 350-bbl. silos have fill tubes bearing anti-overfill devices that prevent vessel and baghouse damage. Batching operations, plus aggregate receiving and heating functions, run on a Win- dows-based Eagan KF Batch2 controls package.
