Livestock Dryers

The Objective

To build the complete frame component used for this customer’s livestock dryer product line. Livestock dryers or blower shells are used by farmers, 4-H participants, as well as state fairs and shows to exhibit and dry the animals.

The Scope

TMCO has been producing this unit for decades with minimal modifications over the years. Our team cuts, rolls, and bends as well as accommodates the required powder coating finish for these units per the customer’s specifications.

Client Impact

Client Quote: “With very little changes to production over the years, TMCO has worked to keep pricing close to the same for all orders. Only changes to pricing would be how the material market is fluctuating.”
