Hanse Agri Ukraine to build grain elevator and oilseeds processing plant in Lviv region
Hanse Agri Ukraine will build a grain elevator and an oil pressing plant in Lviv region, Elevatorist.com reports.
The complex will include an elevator with a conveying equipment capacity of 200 t/h. For grain drying, two grain dryers will be installed — Stela MDB-XN 2/14-S and STRAHL FAV8 8500, each with a capacity of 44 t/h for corn when reducing moisture content from 24% to 14%.
Grain cleaning will be carried out by MAROT A4010 / C5.1610 VP machines (two units, 200 t/h each), as well as TAS-206 (200 t/h) and Horizont-K-500A (200 t/h). The total volume of silos for temporary storage will amount to 18,600 m³, while permanent storage capacity will reach 66,340 m³.
The elevator will operate 344 days a year: under normal conditions — in a single 8-hour shift with 9 employees per day, and during peak fieldwork periods (August–November) — in three shifts, with up to 27 employees per day.
At the same site, the company also plans to launch a vegetable oil pressing plant with a processing capacity of up to 300 t/day of oilseeds and niche crops. The output will include cold-pressed and hot-pressed oil, as well as oilcake with a residual oil content of at least 5.5%.
The project also includes an oil filtration line, packaging of oilcake into big bags, and pelletizing. Storage infrastructure will include tanks with a capacity of up to 400,000 liters for oil, as well as a warehouse for oilcake with a capacity of 5,000 m³.
The complex infrastructure will include reconstruction of the existing storage facilities for the elevator, construction of a 1,520 mm-gauge railway siding with a shunting system, an administrative building with a laboratory (12 employees) and a shelter, as well as a maintenance and mechanical workshop.
The energy solutions will include rooftop solar power installations, energy storage systems, and a natural gas-based cogeneration unit for the production of electricity and heat.
