Grain Facilities - Gerico France

Gerico France designs, manufactures and installs bulk solid storage and handling equipment. It offers a range of solutions such as bucket elevators, conveyors, warehouses, milling machines and feed producing equipment.

The Challenge

Gerico France delivered a turn-key flour mill project in Mombasa, Kenya for a grain milling company at their state of the art milling plant. They required a solution to stop dust going out of the building instead of being aspirated by the installed system when emptying grain trucks into the wheat grain intake pit.

Project/Doors Required

Over 21 Speedor Storm for Grain Facilities in Mombasa, Kenya

Project Challenges

Large Vehicle access
Truck access and egress

Dusty Conditions
Poor conditions affect doors if not designed for purpose

Containment
Dust and grains escaping into the environment

The Solution

Hart installed three Speedor Storm doors from 4m wide x 5m high to 7m high. The Speedor Storm is the next generation of large external door which has improved wind resistance on both sides of the door and is suitable for larger openings, greater than 6m. This door does not require separate wind bars as the curtain contains wind bracing every 1m and is held securely into the guide channels with rollers at either side.

The Success

Hart Doors sent an experienced engineer to Mombasa to supervise and assist in the installation and commissioning of the doors along with the training of staff to install future orders. 18 more Speedor Storms were ordered for a specialised dry bulk discharge and handling terminal for grain imports, located in Shimanzi, Mombasa.
