New silo projects in Egypt

Ever since 1988, Cimbria has been active with some kind of construction work for either the milling industry, seed sector or storage facilities.

Some years ago, the government of Egypt presented a national plan, the so-called 50 Silo Complex Plan. This entailed the construction of a total capacity of 50 x 30,000 tonnes, corresponding to 1,500,000 tonnes, subject to financing.

Cimbria has to date proved to be the most successful player in the market.
 

During the last 4 years contracts for a total capacity of 630,000 tonnes have been awarded following international tenders, and Cimbria has won more than 80% of these tenders.
The latest tender awarded to Cimbria consists of 2 x 30,000 tonnes to be constructed in the Nile Delta between Cairo and Alexandria.
 

Moreover, a 60,000-tonne silo complex is to be built in Assiut, north of Luxor. Shipment of the new order will begin by the end of this year. Transport capacities are provided by 200 tph conveyors and elevators with a Delta 167 cleaning plant, JKF aspiration, Unitest temperature measurement and Unitronic MCC with PC and SCADA control system.
