They describe the business as a key propane equipment distributor in the Midwestern United States. Gary Koch’s son, Charlie Koch, joined the company in 1996 and is now co-owner of the company along with Jeff Munzel. The plant construction business grew as well. “When he came on board, he helped us solidify distribution of some of the major manufacturing equipment in the industry.” Harold and Jeff Munzel, along with Herb and Gary Koch, oversaw the business as it began to grow and gain distributorship of various lines of equipment. “He had a lot of name recognition in the industry,” Jeff Munzel said of his father. He had previously worked for Midland Cooperative, which is now CHS. Jeff Munzel’s father, Harold Munzel, who had a long career in the energy industry, joined the company in 1982. “What kept the boat afloat at that time was plant construction,” Munzel said, but the percentage of the company’s sales slowly evolved from almost 100% plant construction to more equipment sales. Jeff Munzel joined the company in June of 1976, and today he serves as vice president and part owner. The business provides propane and anhydrous ammonia plant construction and service and also designs and installs propane/air standby systems. Now the third-generation company offers a complete line of propane and anhydrous ammonia equipment from manufacturers such as RegO Products, Blackmer, Corken, Algas-SDI, Modine, Alternative Energy Systems, and L.B. Over time, the company’s focus turned to wholesale equipment distribution, but plant construction remains part of the company’s business.
In the beginning, LPG & NH 3 Supply specialized in bulk plant construction. Gary was later joined at LPG & NH 3 Supply by his father, Herb Koch, after he also left his position at Gas Supply. It was early 1976, and Gary started his own company, LPG & NH 3 Supply. Since it’s so lightweight only one person is needed to do the pump out.Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, LPG & NH 3 Supply (Buffalo, Minn.) got its start when Gary Koch left his position at Gas Supply.
#Ventur evac driver
No more scheduling tank evacuations or overfill corrections, the delivery driver can do it right then and there.
#Ventur evac portable
There’s no need to check oil levels, belts or pulleys, because there aren’t any! Being only 7 lbs it’s highly portable and will easily fit into your truck’s mounted tool box.
#Ventur evac plus
In comparison, a compressor weighs 70 lbs and requires 3 hoses and needs about 20 minutes to set up.Īnother plus for the Ventur-Evac is how it will reduce labor costs. We were happy to see that it pumped out as fast as compressor (if not faster), but the thing we liked the most was how fast and easy the hook up was with only one ½” hose and one ¾” hose along with the 7 LB Ventur-Evac needed to get the job done, and it was ready to go in minutes. This product was definitely designed for the propane industry by propane people.ĭuring the test we were able to pump 200 gallons of propane from a 500 gallon AG tank to a 3000 gallon bobtail in about 18 minutes. How did the test go? Well, the quick answer is we loved it. Since this product would replace the compressor during a tank evacuation we wanted to see how it compared to using a compressor. We recently tested the NEW Ventur-Evac and Ventur-Evac Hose Kit at the Suburban Propane yard in Howell, NJ (thanks again guys for letting us use your bobtail and tank).
