OUR

NEW ADDmoN

COVER STORy.... "THE NEW ADDITION" It can not have escaped anyone's notice that there are big construction plans going on, but ques­tions are on everyone's mind - the main one being "What will the final result be?"

First on the list is the new two-story addition slated to house the Food and Pharmaceutical Group on the second floor. This group is currently working out of a temporary trailer set up in the parking lot. The new addition will have approximately 3,760 square feet per floor and there is to be a stair tower to serve as access to the new addition. The stair tower will also link the new addition with the existing building. Both floors are to be finished utilizing an open office concept with modular por­tions . The entrances are to be demolished and rebuilt with new steps and canopies. The main entrance will include the addition of a new reinforced concrete handicapped ramp to comply with ADA standards.

in addition to that construction , the brick veneer on the East and North walls of the office building and the North wall of the manufacturing building will be refaced with a stucco system to blend with the concrete block veneer on the new addition .

There will also be interior renovations to the current Quality Control office area and the unused boil­er room . The boiler room will be renovated into the new mens' and womens' restrooms and the Quality Control off ice is to be gutted and redone from the floor up-including raising the floor level of that to about 6" below the front lobby level. These two levels are also to be connected with a ramp. Of course all existing services in the Quality Control are shall be redone including the electrical sys­tem, sprinkler system and ductwork.

Last, but not least, is the sitework . The sitework is to include the removal and repaving of existing areas, redesign of parking areas, new concrete sidewalks , curbs and a new courtyard. The under­ground drainage system is to be expanded and redirected and other areas are to be landscaped and seeded.

When complete, the old red brick Dorr-Oliver building will have a new look but the new and improved Dorr-Oliver will still continue to forge ahead in the same time-honored tradition .

PROTEIN TECHNOLOGIES VI51TS DORR-OLIVER

One of our customers, Protein Technologies International, visited the Hazleton facility on August 12th to observe the operation of the ClariDry decanter centrifuge. Protein Technologies provided a soy protein isolate slurry which was processed through the ClariDry with good results .

The primary objective for the visit was to learn first-hand how the ClariDry will fit into their plant on a mechanical/operational basis. If satisfied, Protein Technologies would like to install a C la riDry at their pilot facility in St. Louis, where they would test it in many applications throughout their process.

NATIONAL MINING HALL OF FAME

Our Dorr-Oliver logo is now being displayed at the National Mining Hall of Fame and Museum, which is located in Leadville , Colorado. Our own John Van Nostrand Dorr is pictured on the wall of honors in this museum. We have now provid­ed the museum with a Dorr-Oliver logo plaque, which is also proudly displayed on the wall of honors .

This logo plaque was presented to Mr. Carl Miller of the National Mining Hall of Fame by Mr. Andy Patten representing Dorr-Oliver. Mr. Patten was an agent for Dorr-Oliver equipment for many years until his retirement, and he was kind enough to make this presentation in our behalf. Andy and his wife Margaret currently reside in Arvada, Colorado.

Pictured here left to right are Mr. Andy Patten (Dorr-Oliver) and Mr. Carl Miller (National Mining Hall of Fame.)

NEW MACHINING CENTER Hazleton's latest machine tool addition is a G&L Model G60 RTX DUAL PALLET HORIZONTAL MACHINE CENTER. The machine was found in Scotland where it had been since its manufacture in 1983. Dorr-Oliver purchased the burnt orange beauty and had it shipped back to Fon du Lac, WI where G&L installed a totally new spindle and brought the machine back to factory specifications.

We bought the machine to handle milling and boring of our large parts such as columns and radial arms. With a table load capacity of 25,000 Ibs., the machine is no light weight. That enough to carry two complete model 36 MERCO's comfortably.

Programmer and operator training was held on March 26-28, 1996. The machine received its own bat­tery of tools which it needed to fill the teckhanger's 100 pockets . The necessary foundation consisted of 180 cubic yards or 17 truck loads of concrete.

SUMMER PICNIC

HOOK &BULLET- A DAY IN BUCK SEASON I had only walked 25 yards from my trucr when I saw a single deer ghosting away in the pre-dawn light. As I made my way to a tree stand I had used many times before, the crunch of snow beneath my boots warned all creatures of an intruder in their home.

Because I was familiar with this piece of woods it seemed "friendly" in the darkness (woods that are unknown seem much more foreboding and cold) . I was comfortably sit­uated in my tree stand by the time daylight bathed the landscape. The cold morning was soon punctuated with distant rifle shots. Four does ran toward me and stopped 20 yards away. They eventually spotted me in my tree perch and showed a look of quiet confusion, then reversed and circled 50 yards away in single file at a medium pace. I stayed on guard for another 20 minutes but a buck did not follow. During the morning hours my arms and eyes grew tired from straining into position for a possible shot at various meandering deer. A ravens call brought me back from a late morning lull.

Much is written and spoken about the peace and tranquility 0/ the woods, and how the great outMors wilt cause you to forget your

everytWy muntWne troubles. I propose that the reason this is true is because the woods are full 0/myriad 0/mini-distmction). Th('

comtant array o/sights, sounds, and smells demand your attention and limit your thoughts to the immediate surroundings. ThiS is

especially true ifyou are intemely alert and tuned in, as in hunting. Furthermore, your well being and very surviVtt! may depmd

on your attention to details and ability to recognize areas, trails, Iflndmarks, and cVtngers. Oftimes, you may haw no one to rI"Iy on

but yourself I stayed focused on hunting and remained alert, and I observed the Imom the Creat Spirit had hiddm around Inf'.

Sometime after the 12 o'clock siren blew in the distance, the sun came out and warmed the day to about 38°. All trees were bare of leaves and the snow blanketed most cover. These bleak winter days seem to suggest a season of dying, but even in this stark surrounding varied sparks of life became evident. The sun had warmed some unknown moth type insects enough to let them break from their captivity and fly about; they had reddish brown bodies and tan wings. I kept hearing a "snap-swoosh" sound and would anticipate deer; eventually I realized it was the sound of snow-laden laurel boughs springing up from their frozen paralysis. The sun shinning thru and reflecting off the snow gave the laurel leaves an aura of bright emeralds. Chickadees and gold finches, flitted about, eating buds and playing games. A porcupine appeared from a hole at the top of a dead tree. I watched as it worked its way down, tail first, with its claws grasping bark tightly. It often looked down as if to see how far it had to go before it jumped down, but no, it didn't jump but continued the slow process of descending until it reached the ground. A black and white woodpecker landed four feet from me and turned its head side to side, first inspecting me with one eye and then the other, then

quickly darted away.

I took a short walk and found huge bear tracks intersected with smaller animal tracks. I found a spent .308 cartridge where my friend had shot a buck the day before. The animal tracks led toward the entrails. When I felt sufficiently warmed from walking, I checked my compass and returned to my post to await the remainder of the day. I finished eating my lunch, had the last gulp of hot tea and decided to save a pocket full of roast­ed chestnuts to snack on later. In between distractions, fragments of thought turned to past hunting tips, my family, friends, my job, responsibilities and juggling time to do all the things I want to do.

The lively voices and fire back at cam that evenin quickly removed the solitude and chill from my body.
