    Cleaning out an old dairy

    I have been working on cleaning out an old Dairy that has been shut down for many years. This week I got the OK to remove all the equipment in the the basement. There is a huge York ammonia refrigeration compressor pump that stands 4 ft. tall with a 49" dia. by 7" pulley. The ammonia system was drained and shut down when the dairy closed. Also will be removing all the boiler piping, unit heaters and radiators throughout the building. I removed the boiler over winter which was 9' long and around 3000#. The biggest challenge will be breaking this stuff down small enough to carry it up the steps. Sure wish the elevator was in working order but it is stuck and was disabled on the 2nd floor when the plant closed, three phase power is no longer available in the building to operate it along with other obvious safety and maintenance issues. Most of the equipment dates back to the 1950's.
