Recently, SCAFCO Grain Systems supplied equipment for the largest modern grain storage facility in the Ural Federal District in the Russian Federation. The project has a total grain storage capacity of about 50,000 tons, or about 1,650,000 bushels.
SCAFCO manufactured the grain bins, catwalks, bucket elevators, chain conveyors, and towers used on the project, and supplied the grain dryer and grain cleaner.
This grain storage facility is unique because it is the first modern facility of its size in the region. In celebration of the new grain storage facility, the local Governor has placed a time-capsule in the grain bin foundation. The time-capsule has a message to future generations and will be removed from the foundation in one hundred years.
Locally, there was so much enthusiasm and pride about the project that a local news team visited the site while construction was still underway. Interviews, which were later broadcast on television, were conducted with local officials who were visiting the site.
