Over the years, Bruce Supplies has supplied, installed, and serviced over 60 pieces of Sweet Manufacturing’s equipment, including those used to receive harvested grain, load rail cars, and maintain oil seed crush operations.
The recent additions include two 42-inch enclosed belt conveyors (300 and 515 feet) capable of processing 30,000 bph (750 tph). The installation also includes an ACE I 150-foot-tall elevator with a throughput of 4,700 bph (175 tph), and a Titan 15, 130-feet for 15,000 bph, corresponding to 375 tph.
The integration of Sweet Manufacturing’s equipment with monitoring syste1ns and heavy-duty AR liners ensured the successful completion of the installation.

Sweet Manufacturing and Bruce Supplies are proud to report that the United Farmers Mercantile CO-OP was satisfied with the equipment and service. Looking ahead, Bruce Supplies and Sweet Manufacturing are com1nitted to sustaining and maintaining consistent growth in Southeast Iowa and the new ownership.
