The Problem

The distillery required straightforward, reliable advice to help progress plans for improved grain transfer and milling.

With limited space and multiple grain types to process, they needed confirmation that their concept would deliver consistent performance before committing to fabrication.

The Solution

AFSystems worked closely with the client to understand how the materials moved through the existing setup and what changes would make everyday operation easier.

The focus was on practical system improvements, open communication, and ensuring that proposed equipment adjustments were simple to install and maintain.

The Outcome

AFSystems supported Little Lon Distilling Co by:

  • Reviewing current grain handling steps and identifying key pinch points
  • Discussing suitable options for milling and product flow
  • Sharing layout concepts for review and confirmation
  • Coordinating with fabrication partners to confirm transition dimensions and alignment

This process helped the client refine their plan, confirm functionality, and move smoothly toward fabrication.


Little Lon Distilling Co successfully proceeded with fabrication using the confirmed layout and recommendations from AFSystems.

The completed setup now provides reliable grain movement and a clear path for future production adjustments – achieved through straightforward, collaborative support.
