Rock Valley Oil facility triples in size

After three years of construction at a cost of over $4 million, Rock Valley Oil and Chemical Company begins the new millennium in its newly expanded facilities.  Designed to increase capacities and offer more value-added products and services demanded by today's industrial lubricants and chemicals end-users.
Five-gallon pails, drums and totes can be filled at a rate of 60 gallons per minute on the new drum fill line.  Plumbed to the indoor and outdoor tank farms as well as the blend room, a conveyor system over scales controls mass/volume measurement.
Twenty-eight indoor tanks and five miles of piping store and transfer the raw materials as well as finished products.  Computer controlled, each tank has its own pump, dedicated fill and discharge lines to eliminate cross contamination.
The new hot room, with its 40-drum capacity, can heat highly viscous and other materials to temperatures as high as 180 degrees to facilitate blending.
Increased warehouse space, new and expanded truck docks and the company's extensive fleet of delivery vehicles mean customers can have the products they need when needed.
The new outdoor tank farm has 17 tanks that store 170,000 gallons of products and two blending tanks that can contain 9,500 gallons.  Finished products are blended using the most accurate technological controls.
Batch sizes, whether as small as 55 gallons or as large as 7,000 gallons, containing petroleum base-stocks and additives are measured and controlled using the most accurate technology to reach precise specifications utilizing the nine new blending tanks.
In the new 6,000 square foot office, Rock Valley personnel handle inquires, order processing and the many details of customer service that have contributed to the company's growth since 1971.
