Weld ****

This is an "Individual Quick Freeze" tunnel in Montezuma, GA at a food processing facility. At the time we done the work, the place processed vegetable greens, and this tunnel would flash freeze raw produce down to -47F at the rate of 17,000 lbs per hour. The frozen product was bagged when it came out of the tunnel.

I see now from Google Earth View that they process chickens.... It's located just on the south side of GA Hi-way 224(Spaulding Rd) where the road goes over the railroad tracks.....this would be in RRR's neck of the woods(or not too far from it..)

There was nothing but a bare slab of concrete when we started. The whole job took about 5 months from start to finish. All the welds were "code" welds for high pressure anhydrous ammonia. Welding in that aluminum floor was a real pain in the azzzzz….that was done with a spool gun MIG.... All piping was done using 5P+ for the root passes and hot passes, 7018 Lo-Hi was used for all the cap welds. Ahhhhhh…..good times!!!

Nice! We used to stick weld everything using 7016 mostly for a strong weld. Sometimes we used 7018 which turned out a very smooth weld. We also used 1/4" 7024 for building up wear plates and such. That put out a lot of smoke, lol.
