CESCO completes testing of feed bagging line
KONSTANZ, GERMANY - CESCO completed the Factory
Acceptance Test (FAT) for a high-capacity bagging line system
as part of its project with United Feed Company (UFC)
in Saudi Arabia.
The FAT, conducted at CESCO's sub-supplier on Oct. 31,
represents a critical milestone in the project, underscoring
CESCO's commitment to on-time, quality delivery, the company
said.
The FAT validated the system's capacity to process four
parallel lines, each capable of handling up to 1,000 bags of
50 kg per hour using UFC's specified bags. Testing included
safety checks, sewing speed and cutting tests, ink printer tests,
and belt conveying tests, ensuring that all aspects of the equipment
meet operational and safety standards.
A second round of testing, with product in place, will be
conducted at the project site once installation is complete.
The bagging line is a crucial component of a larger, stateof-the-art
grain storage and handling facility that CESCO is
building in partnership with UFC, a leader in Saudi Arabia's
food industry since 1985. The facility will support Saudi
Arabia's poultry and livestock sectors by providing access to
plant-based animal feed, including essential grains like barley.
The facility includes 15 corrugated steel silos with a combined
capacity of 205,000 tonnes, along with a 3,800-squaremeter
flat storage warehouse for soymeal. The handling
system includes two receiving lines for grain, each with a
capacity of 400 tph and two lines for soy meal at 125 tph.

In pre-cleaning and weighing, integrated systems remove impurities
for precise weighing of materials. The reclaim and
distribution system enables materials to be directed as needed
to bulk truck loading, bagging lines or storage.
The facility is designed for future growth with the ability
to accommodate an additional 120,000 tonnes in future storage
capacity.
CESCO designs, manufactures and installs solutions for
grain handling, storage, and processing.
