Manufacturing Sales Break Records in May

Jul 22, 2014

Saskatchewan’s manufacturers continue to impress in the global marketplace after another thriving month of sales according to reports issued by Statistics Canada.

Shipments for May hit a record-breaking $1.5 billion (seasonally adjusted). This was a 2.4 per cent increase over April 2014 and the second highest growth rate among the provinces.

“Communities across this great province are reaping the benefits of a growing manufacturing sector,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. “Every time a manufacturer starts production and sees that product through the development process and into the marketplace, we are all benefitting from the economic growth and prosperity it generates.”

On a yearly basis, Saskatchewan’s manufacturing shipments jumped 4.8 per cent and landed the province in fifth place in terms of percentage change.

“Our government understands that in order to keep our province’s manufacturers moving forward, we must champion their success and make investments in their future,” Boyd said. “This is why we are excited to see projects like the Manufacturing Centre of Excellence get off the ground.

Video: Demco Dual Aguer Grain Carts — Fire Safety Systems, Right or Left-Handed Unload, and More!

Demco's dual auger grain cart is designed for unloading efficiency, operator visibility, and safety in the field.

This dual-auger design features both an unload auger and a floor auger for enhanced grain cleanout and consistent flow, and the 22-inch unload auger is capable of moving up to 600 bushels per minute.

Farmers can also choose between right or left-handed unload options—right-handed unload improves visibility from the tractor cab. A new design allows both vertical and horizontal movement for precise grain placement during unloading.

Another key feature is the built-in fire safety system; a 300-gallon onboard water tank with a hose reel that provides field-ready fire suppression capability.

These dual auger grain carts are available in 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, and 2200 bushel sizes.
