Quality Lime Silos, Lime Slakers, and High Density Lime Systems

In addition to weigh feeders, conveyor belt scales, and impact flow meters, MERRICK also features state-of-the-art lime silo systems.  MERRICK offers both lime slaking systems and the rapidly growing High Density Lime Systems (HDLS) invented and pioneered by ConSeCo.  Lime slakers are typically suited for high volume lime users, creating a lime slurry on site with quicklime. Our lime slakers are engineered to provide the correct temperature, water-to-lime ratio, and physical agitation required for processing a variety of lime grades. High Density Lime Systems utilize hydrated lime and provide an extremely reliable and maintenance free approach to producing lime slurry. Both approaches are custom designed for municipal water plants, wastewater facilities, flue gas desulfurization, and other applications that utilize lime slurry. MERRICK’s line of lime slakers and High Density Lime System silos both offer the dependability and slurry quality that our customers expect.

Quality Retrofits and Upgrades

If you are considering upgrading or updating your current material handling or weighing system, contact MERRICK. Whether you’re interested in changing the capacity of a volumetric screw feeder, upgrading the weigh bridge of a weigh belt feeder, or modernizing the controls of an impact flow meter, we can successfully retrofit your existing equipment, regardless of make.

Commitment to Customer Service Excellence

MERRICK is dedicated to ensuring that your weigh feeding systems, belt scale installations, lime slakers, impact flow meter applications, and other material handling equipment continue to work correctly and accurately for years to come. We offer responsive, 24/7 service including phone support, local field service centers, and a comprehensive inventory of spare parts – because we know you can’t afford to waste production time offline. MERRICK supports every installation ever made to ensure Customer Satisfaction.
