CESCO delivers first material for Molino Chiavazza project

January 6, 2025 - CESCO has announced the successful delivery of the first materials to the construction site of a new 'green' and technological plant for Molino Chiavazza in Cuneo, Northern Italy.

The project is designed to modernise the agricultural and industrial infrastructure, includes the following:

• A Silo Storage Section for a mill plant, enabling the storage, unloading, mixing, and homogenisation of cereals, with future plans to expand for the storage of protein flours for feed applications.
• Mixed truck and train intake facilities, offering energy savings and reduced emissions through a railway connection.
• 11 corrugated steel-sheet round silos with hopper sbottoms (12.2m diameter) and four truck outloading silos, providing a total combined storage capacity of 25,000 tonnes.
• Silos equipped with ventilation systems for air or carbon dioxide ventilation, ensuring the safe and chemical-free storage of cereals - ideal for bio-products.
• Advanced conveying equipment - chain conveyors, bucket elevators and belt conveyors - with a maximum capacity of 400t/h.
• Complete steel supporting structures.
