Location: Eindhoven, The Netherlands
Animal feed: Raw materials and dosing
A significant production expansion for ABZ Diervoeding in Eindhoven, where we were responsible for the steel and square silo construction of the two production towers. The first tower, nearly 50 meters high, houses the processing machines. From a height of 30 meters, 22 square storage cells for micro-components have been realized. These cells are a structural part of the tower and together provide a storage capacity of approximately 450 m3, equivalent to storing about 450 tons of raw materials high in the air.
The second tower contains 20 square macro-component storage cells with a combined storage capacity of 2,500 m3. The raw materials in these cells have a bulk density of approximately 800 kg/m3.
Thanks to the expansion of technical capabilities, ABZ Diervoeding can tailor feeds in detail to the customer’s requirements. The main principle is “every farmer has his own feed.” This sets the cooperative apart from providers of generic ready-made solutions, operating exclusively in the domestic market.
The expansion results from ABZ’s growing sales and increased demand for custom-made feeds. This has led to an enlargement of the production capacity of the Eindhoven facility, one of ABZ’s five locations. This city in North Brabant serves as an excellent base for supplying the numerous livestock farms in the region.
A complex project, partly due to the enormous height. But with all parties involved, we have truly created something significant, everything perfectly according to plan. The city of Eindhoven, and ABZ of course, has gained a skyscraper in the form of a magnificent silo tower!
Procedure The regulations of the industry, the properties of the material, the geographical conditions of the construction site, the weather conditions in the region… we leave nothing to chance. We therefore work according to the TSC roadmap. This way, we work efficiently and do not overlook any detail. A solid approach for a solid result.
