Silos
The complex of grain silos, which is regarded as one of the best grain silos in the world and equipped with the most up-to-date technology in terms of construction and equipment for storing, loading, and unloading wheat grains before selling or using them, was constructed by Silos Alkbous Silos and Mills Company Ltd.
Al-Hodeidah Governorate is selected as the location for building of the unique complex for Alkbous Silos and Mills Company Limited because it is only a 10-kilometer drive from the Salif port. The port operates a sizable fleet of trucks under stringent guidelines that guarantee the smooth and high-quality arrival of wheat grain.
The Alkbous Silos and Mills Company Ltd. silo complex has a storage capacity of more than 120,000 tons of wheat grain. There are currently 12 silos in the complex, and 12 more be anticipated in the future.
Before beginning to be stored in silos and after being transported there by trucks, wheat grains go through a number of cleaning and sifting procedures. Following harvest and transportation in grain ships, significant impurities like wood chips, pebbles, and other debris go through enormous sieves as part of the first stage (preliminary cleaning). Afterwards, the second cleaning stage includes the addition of wheat grains that separated from impurities and other unwanted residue using the PRECLEANING ROTARY SEPARATOR technology, which uses enormous rotating cylinders with rotating sieves to do so. In the third and final stage, they engage in a physical sifting process using magnets to remove any metal impurities.
Then, the wheat transported using an automated material handling system that designed primarily for food palpation; it considered one of the most modern of its kind. Following the step of cleaning and purifying, the grain are transferred to storage silos, mills, or the packing unit in bags of various weights and sizes depending on consumer needs, or filling trucks with bulk wheat.
All grain storage silos project units have indeed been fully equipped with the most available cutting-edge technology, and they benefit from special specifications and conditions such as air conditioning, constant temperature, humidity, and ventilation monitoring to preserve wheat grains and compliance with international specifications and standards.
Alkbous Silos and Mills Company Ltd. offers merchants and importers a service of hiring silos for wheat grains storing.
