DANUBE OIL COMPANY SRL

For the oil press plant in Moldova KMZ Industries has produced hoppers:

• 2 hoppers 7.3 meters diameter, 65° an angle inclination and capacity 506 m³ of each;
• 2 hoppers 11 meters diameter, 65° an angle inclination and capacity 1,485 m³ of each;
• 2 hoppers 7.3 meters diameter, 45° an angle inclination and capacity 533 m³ of each.

The silos will store granulated and non-granulated husks, as well as sunflower before drying.

In 2020, cooperation was continued by ordering 6 insulated silos with a diameter of 11 m and a storage capacity of 2,055 m³ each.

These containers are designed for a product that is difficult to store – granulated and non-granulated sunflower cake, therefore they have a unique design specially designed for the client. In particular, they have a completely flat and smooth wall – unlike standard containers made from corrugated steel, so the product does not slide along the walls and does not stick to them. In addition, magnetic pulse vibrators are installed on each hopper: thanks to their influence on the product flow, it is prevented from hanging.

And since two conveyors for loading containers go in parallel above the silos, the designers provided for them non-standard wide overpasses with passages for maintenance, which are also distinguished by a higher height of the supports to ensure an appropriate inclination of the gravity flows, which ensures the convergence of the product.

All hoppers manufactured for the MPZ are designed for non-standard snow and wind loads in a seismically active zone. They are also equipped with dry pipes of the fire extinguishing system, provided with radar sensors for monitoring the level of grain for continuous monitoring of the level of the product in the tank online.

The construction of the second batch of silos was carried out by specialists from the assembly division of KMZ Industries.

In addition to hopper silos, the MPZ has two flat-bottom silos from the Variant Agro Build line.
