GRAIN/CROP
HANDLING
|
| |
The
European Union commissioned DIAK under their Stabex budget programme
to assist a crop processing factory in central Africa. The factory
needed to engineer a new layout using most of the existing machinery,
but to accommodate a higher throughput and storage. With good
local engineering talent, but a budget inadequate to buy ready
made process lines, the decision was taken to equip the factory
instead with their own engineering fabrication shop. DIAK researched,
designed and supplied the machine tools and hand tools needed
for this new shop, and provided a spares service and expert
guidance thereafter. The factory progressively took out process
lines, made new ducting, water pipework, structural supports
and silos and over a 2 year period completed their own rebuild
at very reduced rates compared with the import of a ready made
system.
An African port required an urgent overhaul of it's grain silos
and ship to shore transport evacuator systems to mobilise for
a US Aid famine relief shipment. In partnership with Chicago
specialist consultants, DIAK recovered the 30 year old drawings
from the original USA factory, devised the specifications for
repair and commissioned manufacture to the old patterns, and
in 10 days assembled an airfreight shipment direct to the port
to effect the refurbishment.
