Atmore’s Tiger-Sul Expands With Employee Designed Rail Tank System

July 17, 2014

H.J. Baker’s Tiger-Sul Products in Atmore has developed and built a new molten sulphur unloading system which increases capacity on their dedicated rail spur.

The employee designed initiative built a molten sulphur unloading manifold system the length of the spur, which allows for increased capacity, increased safety and decreased service time of the rail cars. This, in addition to the recent installation of a 1,500 ton molten sulphur storage tank and heating pumping system dramatically increases the production efficiency of the Atmore facility.

“We have seen a dramatic increase in demand for our sulphur bentonite fertilizer products in the domestic southeast, especially Florida. As the sulphur market grows, we want to ensure we are able to meet current customer needs and that we are in the best possible position to meet the needs of our customers in the future. The added capacity on the rail spur is another example of our continued commitment to deliver outstanding products and superior customer service,” said H.J. Baker Fertilizer Group President Don Cherry.
