Central Africa 150 TPD Drying + 4,000T Storage Turnkey Project
Integrated tropical climate solution for efficient drying and safe grain storage.
Region
Central Africa
Scale
150 TPD + 2×2000T
Duration
2025
Background & Challenges
A regional agricultural cooperative required a centralized grain processing and storage facility to serve local farmers under tropical climate conditions.
Key Challenges:
Tropical climate: high temperatures and humidity (avg. 30°C+, 85% RH)
Limited local technical expertise for operation and maintenance
Need for integrated drying and storage to minimize post-harvest losses
Tight project timeline to meet upcoming harvest
Background & Challenges
A regional agricultural cooperative needed to establish a centralized grain processing and storage facility to serve local farmers in a challenging tropical climate.
Key Challenges:
- High temperature and high humidity environment (annual average 30°C+ / 85% RH)
- Limited local technical expertise for operation and maintenance
- Need for integrated drying and storage to minimize post-harvest losses
- Tight project timeline to meet the next harvest season
