Volyn-Zerno-Produkt agroholding, operating under the Viliia trademark, has commissioned a new seed plant in the village of Zvyniače, Lutsk district, Volyn Region. The facility is designed for the full-cycle preparation of seed material and will enable the company to expand its in-house capacities for processing and producing high-quality agricultural seeds.
According to Perry, the company that supplied equipment for the new complex, the production line has a capacity of up to 12 tonnes of seeds per hour. The plant is equipped with machinery from Perry and Danish manufacturer Westrup and covers all key stages of seed preparation: raw material intake, pre-cleaning and fine cleaning, calibration, gravity and optical separation, seed treatment, drying and shipment of finished products.
The high level of production automation allows up to six technological operations to be carried out simultaneously in continuous mode, increasing processing efficiency and reducing the impact of the human factor. According to the company, the accuracy of finished products’ compliance with specified parameters for purity, size, color and thousand-seed weight reaches 99.99%.
The new facility will specialize in the preparation of wheat, soybean, barley, pea and other agricultural crop seeds.
