CESCO, a global leader in grain handling, storage, and processing solutions, has announced the successful completion of the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) for a high-capacity bagging line system as part of its extensive project with United Feed Company (UFC) in Saudi Arabia. The FAT, conducted at CESCO’s subsupplier on October 31st, represents a critical milestone in the project, underscoring CESCO's commitment to on-time, quality delivery.
The FAT validated the system’s capacity to process four parallel lines, each capable of handling up to 1,000 bags of 50 kg per hour using UFC’s specified bags. Testing included safety checks, sewing speed and cutting tests, ink printer tests, and belt conveying tests, ensuring that all aspects of the equipment meet rigorous operational and safety standards. A second round of testing, with product in place, will be conducted at the project site once installation is complete.
With shipment to Saudi Arabia set for mid-November, CESCO remains on track to deliver this sophisticated equipment on schedule.
"Achieving this milestone demonstrates our commitment to timely execution and high quality for our partners," said Martino Celeghini, CEO of CESCO. "Our collaboration with UFC supports Saudi Arabia’s agricultural sector and food security goals, and we look forward to completing the project as planned."
The bagging line is a crucial component of a larger, state-of-the-art grain storage and handling facility that CESCO is building in partnership with UFC, a leader in Saudi Arabia’s food industry since 1985. This facility will support Saudi Arabia’s poultry and livestock sectors by providing reliable access to high-quality, plant-based animal feed, including essential grains like barley.
