Ocrim alongside the major pasta manufacturers of the former Soviet Union

by Ocrim, Italy

In the countries of the former Soviet Union, for some years now, a modernisation process of the milling industry has been underway and Ocrim, thanks to its cutting-edge technology, is making an important contribution to this development.

In fact, in Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus, Ocrim is the main actor in terms of increasing the presence of semolina plants. The Cremona-based company offers a meticulous and versatile process, since it is able to provide traditional plants for large-scale production, as well as more complex and customised plants, which require very specific technical features, suggested to customers by Ocrim or requested directly and designed together.
 


Furthermore, some companies have developed a certain sensitivity towards organic raw materials and, for this reason, they have chosen Ocrim as a partner for their projects, as it is a company fully in line with this choice, as shown by its participation in The Italian Agri-Food Chain Choice project over the last years.

In these countries, there has also been an increase in demand for the use of stainless-steel and, in general, for innovative materials in the plants, in order to guarantee the wholesomeness and excellence of the finished products and the utmost attention to sanitation.

Finally, another important factor in Ocrim’s rise in the market of the former Soviet Union concerns the aspects related to automation. Increasingly more companies belonging to this geographical area, in fact, feel the need to renew themselves and to simplify the work inside the mill, while maintaining a high yield index that ensures production characterised by high-level performance characteristics.

In Russia, Ocrim is the official partner of the two major pasta manufacturers, Makprom and Makfa. After eight years, Makprom, a CI GROUP subsidiary, has once again chosen Ocrim to build its second durum wheat semolina mill, with a capacity of 400 t/24h. The semolina will be processed at the new pasta factory, just like eight years ago with the first mill.

The new plant will have the same characteristics as the previous one, as all the machines are made of stainless steel and designed and configured in the same way, but with Ocrim’s current technological standard. This shows that the positive results achieved by the company for some years now have led Makprom to choose Ocrim again.

Also in Russia, in the city of Cheljabinsk, Makfa has two semolina mills provided by Ocrim, one featuring a capacity of 330 t/24h and another one with a capacity of 360 t/24h. Both mills have been equipped with stainless-steel machinery, in line with customer requirements. Ocrim is a historic partner for Makfa, as it has followed several projects for the Russian company, as well as providing the two mills.
