Lantmännen
Oats completed
an expansion of
its oats facility
in Kimstad,
Sweden,
with CESCO
supplying
storage
equipment
and a range of
services.
commissioning at end of May 2022. The pandemic presented
some challenges, including a raw material shortage
in winter and supply chain delays.
The biggest challenge was a shortage of high tensile
steel sheets, which is required for manufacturing many
components, including silos and conveyors.
" We have been facing the general lack of reliability
in the delivery time of sub-suppliers, which in its turn
affected our delivery time, " CESCO said. " Only the
combined efforts of all companies of the group in the
procurement allowed us to overcome the most critical
situation. "
For the project, CESCO supplied intake pit with grits
and aspiration for truck unloading, chain conveyors
and bucket elevators. Storage included round hopper
silos model HBS with special outlet diameters and corrugated
square silos with food-grade surface treatment.
Completely covered walkways were installed on the
top of the hopper silos.
CESCO also supplied the intake and outloading
steel building including flooring, staircases, cladding
and roofing. All machines had food-grade surface
treatment. CESCO services included concept
and detail engineering, static calculation of the buildings,
manufacturing and shipment and erection and
commissioning.
This project expands CESCO's activities in northern
European countries.

New Scottish malting facility
Bairds Malt constructed
a new malting
plant
in
Inverness, Scotland, where it can take advantage of the
locally grown barley and supply malt directly into the
surrounding distilleries in Speyside and Morayshire.
Being located close to the good harbor facilities in
Inverness makes it easy to export quality malt to brewers
and distillers around the world.
As part of the project, Symaga worked with Bühler
for the supply of storage silos to the new facility. Total
capacity is 29,059 cubic meters.
More than two dozen hopper silos with different requirements
were requested. The project's overall technical
complexity posed a challenge in connecting all of
them in accordance to the turnkey's project management
operating guidelines, Symaga said.
" Both a solid partnership approach and fluent communications
helped us through it, " the company said.
By the assembly phase, the project faced some delays
as a result of COVID test-track-trace requirements. Also,
Brexit-related regulations played a role in delivery.
Symaga supplied 23 silos, including eight of model
SCE0993/15T45EC; eight of model SCE0687/16T45EC;
three of model SCE0687/13T45EC and four of model
SCE0535/09T45EC.
