Engineering and agro-industrial solutions
We design, supply and integrate solutions to receive, store, preserve, transport, condition and process grains and bulk materials. Each project is structured around the product, capacity, site and actual way of operating.
More than an isolated team
A silo does not solve an operation by itself. It must receive the product at the planned flow rate, store it in suitable conditions, unload it without creating bottlenecks, and communicate with conveyors, sensors, boards, and process equipment.
That is why at EAT we approach projects as a system. We review capacity, humidity, retention time, routes, transfers, energy consumption, maintenance, and the possibility of future growth.
The goal is for the investment to make technical sense from reception to dispatch.
Almacenamiento de granos y materiales a granel
La selección no depende únicamente de las toneladas. También influyen el tiempo de permanencia, la frecuencia de carga y descarga, el producto, el terreno, la altura disponible y la estrategia de expansión.
Son una solución habitual para almacenar volúmenes medianos y grandes durante periodos prolongados. Su configuración puede integrar aireación, termometría, medición de nivel, descarga mecánica, accesos y sistemas de limpieza interna.
Facilitan la descarga por gravedad y son útiles cuando el producto debe rotar con mayor frecuencia. Se utilizan para almacenamiento temporal, pulmón de proceso, alimentación de líneas o separación de diferentes materias primas.
Están orientados a operaciones donde se requiere disponibilidad constante de producto cerca del punto de consumo. Pueden trabajar con sistemas de extracción, transporte, dosificación y control de inventario.
En proyectos integrales, los silos forman parte de una arquitectura mayor. Elevadores, transportadores, distribuidores, compuertas y automatización deben coordinarse para mover el producto sin contaminación cruzada, esperas innecesarias o pérdidas de capacidad.
Storage architecture
A complete solution connects the receiving point with storage, preservation, product movement, and the control system. These are the areas that usually need to be reviewed together.
Unloading, initial separation of impurities, and regulation of the input flow.
Elevators, conveyors, and distributors that take the product to its destination.
Aeration, temperature, level, humidity, and inventory rotation strategy.
Extraction compatible with the process flow, dispatch, or next stage.
Sequences, permissions, alarms, sensors, and visualization of operational states.
End-to-end services
We can participate in a specific discipline or coordinate several families within the same project. The scope is defined according to the stage, the available information, and the agreed responsibilities.
01 · Engineering and consulting
Before selecting equipment, we organize product information, capacity, site, and process. This allows comparing alternatives, reviewing the layout, and detecting interfaces that could become problems during assembly or operation.
02 · Manejo de materiales
Integramos sistemas de elevación, transporte, transferencia y distribución. El diseño considera el caudal, la distancia, la altura, la fragilidad del producto, el polvo, la limpieza y el acceso para mantenimiento.
03 · Conditioning and processing
Reception, pre-cleaning, cleaning, and drying determine the condition with which the product enters storage or processing. We also integrate milling, mixing, dosing, pelleting, cooling, and packaging stages when the project requires it.
04 · Automation and control
Automation gathers signals, sensors, panels, PLC, HMI, and alarms so that equipment operates in the correct order. The logic is designed around the actual process, not as a software layer placed at the end to disguise mechanical errors.
05 · Implementation and life cycle
We coordinate documentation, logistics, interfaces and test criteria according to the contracted scope. After start-up, an operation may require training, components, spare parts, modernization or expansions.
Technical portfolio
Availability, selection, and specification depend on the product, capacity, site, and final scope. This list serves to understand the main families, not to turn engineering into a restaurant menu.
For higher volume storage, conservation, and modular expansion.
For frequent rotation, gravity discharge, and process feeding.
Fans, ducts, sensors, and product condition monitoring.
Vertical elevation of grains and materials with capacities defined by project.
Chain, screw, belt, tubular, or other configurations depending on the product.
Gates, distributors, connections, hoppers, and transfer points.
Pre-cleaning, cleaning, moisture control, and preparation for storage.
Grinding, mixing, dosing, pelletizing, cooling, and packaging.
Panels, PLC, HMI, sensors, alarms, sequences, and visualization.
Project methodology
The exact process changes according to the client's stage, but these six moments help to organize the information and reduce improvised decisions.
Product, capacity, site, current process, and objectives.
Flows, volumes, quality, permanence, and restrictions.
Layout, equipment, routes, interfaces, and future growth.
Civil, mechanical, electrical, automation, and responsibilities.
Supply, assembly, functional tests, and commissioning.
Training, spare parts, improvements, and expansions.
Common applications
The same family of equipment changes according to the product, the process, and the scale. These applications show how services can be combined.
Reception, cleaning, drying, silos, aeration, monitoring, transportation, and dispatch within a coordinated system.
Storage of raw materials, dosing, grinding, mixing, pelleting, cooling, bagging, and control.
Survey, compatibility review, bottleneck correction, new controls, and expansion routes.
Definition of the process, layout, equipment, interfaces, supply, testing, and operation preparation.
Information for decision making
The type of grain or material determines the density, behavior during transport, necessary aeration, and discharge form. It is also advisable to know the input moisture, percentage of impurities, and product fragility.
The total capacity should relate to daily reception, inventory turnover, production, and harvest periods. The largest silo is not always the best decision. In some cases, it is advisable to divide the volume to separate products, batches, or qualities.
The stored volume and flow rate are different variables. An installation may have enough capacity but take too long to receive or dispatch product if the elevators, conveyors, or transfer points are not coordinated.
The residence time, ambient temperature, humidity, and required quality help define aeration, thermometry, level measurement, ventilation, and operation protocols.
Terrain, foundations, energy, access, heights, distances, buildings, existing equipment, and assembly restrictions must be reviewed. This information reduces subsequent changes and helps define the responsibilities of each discipline.
Automation can coordinate routes, starts, stops, alarms, and monitoring. To design it correctly, it is necessary to know the available signals, equipment states, safety priorities, and how the staff will operate.
