Being the 2023 year’s export leader of Türkiye in grain and feed milling technologies, Imas keeps on building turnkey projects in different locations worldwide. Already having many references all over Africa, Imas built a new 160 TPD capacity flour mill project in Cameroon for World Food Industry, and completed in December 2023.
Imas today moves rapidly through its vision to be one of leading global brands in flour and feed milling technologies. Building turnkey flour, maize, and feed mills worldwide in 5 continents, Imas is also very active in Africa, as already having many important project references in Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria, Sudan, Zambia, etc. countries within the continent. Imas has even recently completed one of the largest flour milling complexes of Africa with 3×800 TPD total capacity last year.
In December 2023, Imas completed the new flour mill project for World Food Industry, one of the leading food and retail groups headquartered in Yaounde, Cameroon. After their first flour mill was built by Imas in 2021, World Food Industry preferred to agree with Imas again for the supply and delivery of their new 160 TPD capacity flour mill investment on a turnkey basis.
Project Details
The flour mill is located in Douala city, the finance and trade capital of Cameroon. Having 160 TPD wheat processing capacity, two different types of flour are produced in the flour mill to be distributed to World Food Industry’s local supermarkets and bakery chains, in over 40 locations within the country.
The greenfield project is completed by Imas on a turnkey basis including production, engineering, installation, and commissioning services. The production of the complete machinery and equipment has been completed in nearly 6 months by Imas, a very short period thanks to the production power and capacity of the company. And, the mechanical and electrical installation of the project has also been completed in nearly another 6 months by the experienced project planning, installation, and supervision teams of Imas.
Steel Building by Steral
Not only the milling machinery and systems, also the steel construction of the mill building was provided by Steral – a brand of Imas. Steral is today a very strong partner in industrial steel buildings, as well as having the capacity to build huge projects ie. exhibition centers, hotel buildings, and shopping malls. With Steral, Imas is also the only inhouse manufacturer of steel buildings in grain and feed milling industries.
Automation Technology
The complete process flow in the flour mill can be managed centrally via the SCADA automation system, from wheat intake to flour packaging. The system has real-time reporting feature about the production amount, yield, consumption, etc. of the plant. The latest automation technology in the plant even allows Imas after-sales team to connect to the plant remotely at any time, for remote support services including technical assistance, troubleshooting, and check up, etc.
