Workshop renovation for a long-established Russian flour producer

Chelyabinsk Association Soyuzpichsheprom LLC in Russia, founded in 1898, has consistently supported Russian residents and soldiers with its products as far back as the Great October Socialist Revolution and World War II.

Now, the company has developed into one of the largest grains and oil enterprises in Russia, with four production bases. The company's main products include vegetable oil, flour, macaroni, rice together with muesli, breakfast cereals, snacks, etc. The company exports products to the CIS, China, the United States, Canada, Germany, Israel and the United Arab Emirates to name just a few.
 


In July 2018, the company carried out the Technical Transformation and Upgrading Project of ‘250 tonnes/day flour production line’ in one of its production bases, which was undertaken by COFCO Engineering and Technology (COFCOET).

COFCOET, under COFCO Corporation, is a flour engineering business which involves technical consultation, engineering design, equipment manufacturing and supply, general contracting of complete sets of projects of flour and grain processing.

The Technical Transformation and Upgrading Project included process design, equipment manufacturing, cargo transportation, civil engineering transformation and equipment installation and commissioning.

It took a total of 180 days to successfully complete the commissioning of process equipment by January 2019 and all indicators have reached the expected requirements.

The main features of the project are briefly described as follows:
1. The original workshop was designed for a 92 tonnes/day wheat processing flour production line, with a very limited construction area. In order to increase the processing capacity to 250t/d, five wheat tempering bins were added next to the original workshop and arranged in parallel. At the same time, a passenger-and-freight elevator was also added to reduce the labour intensity of operators.

2. Due to the increase of equipment quantity and weight after technical improvement, not only enough pedestrian paths should be considered but also the original beam-column structure should be kept in the equipment layout. For example, the roller mills were arranged on two floors, with their driving motors installed on the same floor and the materials moved into the chamber after grinding by roller and then exhausted from the chamber directly; the plansifter is hanged by the integral steel beam. With above mentioned design, the load bearing to the original workshop is not affected and the safety and reliability of the equipment in process were ensured.

3. According to the actual features of raw grain and product requirements, with the combination of the existing conditions of the workshop, the production process was specially customised.
