Sooro Renner is in constant improvement and evolution. An example of this is the new Raw Material Receiving Platform: a modern and robust structure designed to meet the company’s current and future demand. Who benefits from this? The processes, the suppliers, and consequently the final customers.

With the constant increase, over the years, of the company’s production capacity, it is often necessary to adapt the areas to meet these new volumes. The new Receiving Platform aims to provide the receiving and storage of raw materials in a more agile and satisfactory manner.

The investments have already exceeded R$ 18 million, as they also involved adjustments in the existing platform and silo areas. The project is totally automated, with minimal human interference, using first-rate equipment from the market. This modernity facilitates the operation and generates better working conditions for the employees.

EXPANDED CAPACITY

The daily receiving capacity before the new platform was

1,300,000 L/day (90 m3/h for 14 hours), that is, 37 carts per day. In the process of the old platform, the company lost time, as it required maneuvering of the trucks and manual operation to connect the discharge hoses and cleaning of the carts.

With the new structure, the current daily receiving capacity jumped to 3,450,000 L/day (150m³/h for 23 hours), which corresponds to 98 carts per day. The change had an impact on the receiving silos, totaling 1,500,000 liters of storage space for whey (raw material). The agility also arrived in the unloading process, with three platforms with double bays, three trucks are unloaded and another three are cleaned simultaneously.

SUPPLIERS BENEFITED

The benefits of the new Raw Material Receiving Platform impact the suppliers.  The receiving process gained more agility, because it is dimensioned to absorb unloading peaks that will hardly be stopped by conditions of the following processes; the truck pulls into a single position and all the processes happen right there, sample collection, unloading, and cleaning.

The advantages for Sooro Renner involve better receiving agility, besides the expanded storage capacity. These are steps that facilitate the management of the raw material within the process and allow more efficiency and quality in the services.
