Aiming for zero waste and 100% deliverability of products

Four pneumatic conveying systems in operation
There are four systems in operation on the new Wimpak cleaning and grading system. Each of these systems are used for conveying the graded seed and refuse after cleaning.
Some of the materials conveyed pneumatically include:
- Refuse
- Dust
- Broken kibble
- Quality seeds

Michael Francis of Pneuvay stated, "This type of installation is typical for us. There are no engineering challenges in moving grain in such a situation."
"Pneuvay is well versed at setting up mobile and fixed plant bulk material conveying systems for grains like corn, soya beans and wheat to load in bulk into silos and trucks. We also service blowers throughout the grain industry, including installations storage." he added.

WIMPAK - delivering better opportunity to local producers
The pneumatic grain conveying system resulted in 100% deliverability of farm products. It lead to zero waste as each component of the produce can now be used in value added opportunities. This provided a fantastic opportunity for local producers to increase both their domestic and global market sales, increasing the financial output of their farms.
