Granor farm will increase production for 29 partners such as maltsters millers distillers bakers brewers and other end users for certified organic rotational crops with a focus on barley wheat and cereal RYE. The builtin belt conveyor equipment will eliminate lot contamination between crops and enable filling of multiple supersacks with high accuracy. The mobile design also allows for indoor filling during winter enhanced operational safety and flexibility and reduced weatherrelated delays.
