Cooling System & Controls Summary – this is a dedicated closed-loop chilled water cooling system that keeps the conveying air and storage rooms cool enough to protect flour/grain quality during handling — all tied together and automated through a central Allen Bradley control system

• Water Chiller Unit – Emailair CRA 852, 3x reciprocating compressors (9kW each), R22 refrigerant, ~82kW cooling capacity, cools water to 6°C
• Water Reservoir – 1000L stainless steel chilled water tank, insulated with Rockwool
• Water Pump – Aristoflow centrifugal pump, 5.5kW, circulates chilled water through the system (~370 L/min)
• Aftercooler – Air/water heat exchanger cooling blower air from ~80°C down to ~20°C before it enters the flour and grain conveying lines
• Fan Coolers – Air/water heat exchangers cooling the ambient air in the Silo and Day Bin rooms, ~84 m³/min airflow
• Chilled Water Control Valves – Siemens valves regulating chilled water flow to the aftercoolers and fan coils
• Control & MCC – Central control panel and motor control centre (Allen Bradley SLC504 PLC, Panelview touchscreens) governing the whole plant and field components

Details:

A complete, ready-to-install bulk flour and grain storage and handling system, comprising six 5-tonne stainless steel silos fully integrated with a Nucon pneumatic conveying system covering blowing, sifting, and dust extraction + cooling system.

Each silo is mounted on load cells with auger feed for accurate, automated stock control, and the system includes a silo air conditioner to protect product integrity in storage. Material handling is supported by a flour & grain pneumatic handling system, a pressure sifter, and a triple deck sifter, with 3″ inline spherical ball magnets fitted to the crumb and grain lines for contaminant control.

Bag loading is catered for at both ends of the scale, with 1000kg bulk bag and 25kg bag loading equipment included, plus a forkliftable bag dump station for efficient intake handling. The system is fitted with a Garven XE3 weigher.

Full inspection access is provided via a complete gantry system with flooring at multiple heights, allowing safe inspection and maintenance across the entire installation.

This is a turnkey bulk ingredient storage and handling solution suited to bakeries, flour mills, feed manufacturers, and food processors looking to scale up from bagged to bulk handling — with the gantry and full ancillary equipment already in place, significantly reducing install time and cost versus a new build.
