May 30, 2024 - CESCO EPC, a leading German company specialising in grain storage and processing plants, is pleased to announce its new project in collaboration with United Feed Company (UFC) in Saudi Arabia. This project exemplifies CESCO's commitment to innovation and adaptability to meet the unique challenges of the region.
Large-Scale Storage Capacity
The project includes 15 corrugated steel flat-bottom storage silos with a total capacity of over 20,512 tonnes. Additionally, CESCO will provide conveying equipment for a flat storage warehouse for soy meal, covering a total surface area of 3800m². This substantial storage capacity allows UFC to maintain a strategic reserve of essential feedstock materials, mitigating the impact of potential supply chain disruptions.

High-Capacity Handling
The plant is designed to receive, transport and store free-flowing materials like grains, cereals and oilseeds. With dedicated high capacity 2x400t/h receiving lines for grains and 2x125t/h for soy meal, the facility can handle a significant daily intake, ensuring a consistent supply of raw materials for UFC's production needs.
Efficient Pre-Cleaning and Weighing
Grains undergo a thorough pre-cleaning process using advanced rotary cleaners and magnet pipes to remove impurities. Flow scales integrated into the system ensure accurate weighing of incoming materials, optimising production efficiency and cost control.
Flexible Reclaiming and Distribution
The plant features a versatile reclaiming and recycling system that allows for efficient distribution of stored materials. Grain can be directed to bulk truck out-loading silos, bagging lines, or back to storage based on production requirements.
Advanced Conveyor Technology
CESCO's innovative chain conveyors, belt bucket elevators and roller belt conveyors are incorporated throughout the facility. These conveyors offer several advantages, including improved cleanability, reduced maintenance needs, and a modular design for easier transport and installation.
Simultaneous Operations
The design of the plant enables simultaneous operation of various processes. For example, grain and soy meal receiving/loading can occur concurrently, maximising overall efficiency and throughput.
Designed for Future Expansion
The design accommodates future expansion with an additional nine corrugated steel flat-bottom storage silos, increasing the total capacity by over 123,091 tonnes to reach a combined capacity of 328, 243 tonnes. Additionally, the sot meal storage capacity will be doubled to a total of 7,600m².
