Tools

Technologies and Innovations

The facility was equipped with a range of advanced features and systems to meet its ambitious performance targets:

  • Six concrete silos and two steel bins provide a combined grain storage capacity of 33,860 metric tonnes, supporting a wide range of grain types and volumes.
  • High-speed grain receiving system operating at 680 MTPH, allowing rapid intake from trucks and minimizing unloading times.
  • Loadout system with a peak capacity of 1,600 MTPH, ensuring fast rail car loading and minimizing dwell time at the terminal.
  • Cleaning system with a throughput of 160 MTPH, ensuring grain quality and compliance with export standards.
  • A state-of-the-art 134-car loop track enables continuous rail loading operations without the need to break train formations—maximizing efficiency and improving logistics scheduling.
