Operation expansion
ZD Lukavec
Adding a silo, a grain dryer and a conveying route to an existing operation.
About FARMIX
We supply equipment for grain storage, drying, cleaning and conveying. From a single feed silo to a complete post-harvest line.
FARMIX is a Czech company based in Radomyšl in South Bohemia. We have worked in agriculture for over 20 years. We help farmers, cooperatives and agricultural businesses plan their equipment so that it makes sense in day-to-day operation.
It is not only about supplying a silo, a grain dryer or a conveyor. What matters is that the individual parts follow on from each other, cope with the seasonal load and that the operators can work with them well.
From a single silo to a complete line
Not every job has to be big. Sometimes a farmer needs a single feed silo or a conveyor. Other times a business is working on a new post-harvest line with intake, cleaning, drying, conveying and storage.
We supply both standalone equipment and larger installations: feed silos, grain storage silos, grain dryers, grain cleaners, conveying routes, steel buildings and complete post-harvest lines.
In both cases we are working on the same thing: making sure the equipment matches your operation, its capacity and the way you will use it during the season.
We do not start with a catalog.
We start with your operation.
Before we pick a silo, a grain dryer or a conveyor, we need to understand your operation and what you need to solve in it.
We ask how much grain you need to take in, how fast it has to be conveyed, what you will clean, what you will dry, where you will store it and how you will discharge it. We also look at the operators, the space available and the option to expand later.
Only then does it make sense to choose a specific silo, grain dryer, grain cleaner or conveyor.
- How much grain do you need to take in and convey?
- What will be cleaned, dried and stored?
- How will the equipment connect to the rest of the operation?
- Should it be possible to expand the solution later?
Why customers choose FARMIX
We make the parts work together
Intake, cleaning, drying, conveying, storage and discharge have to work as one operation. A weak point usually only shows up during the season.
From one piece of equipment to a complete line
A feed silo, a conveyor, a grain cleaner, a grain dryer or a complete post-harvest line. The scope of the supply follows what you need to solve.
We can build in stages
It is not always possible to build a whole post-harvest line at once. That is why we design the first stage to work straight away and to be ready for later expansion.
We are still here after handover
We take care of service once the equipment is handed over. Warranty and post-warranty service, spare parts, modifications and operator training.
New build, stage
or modernization
Sometimes it makes sense to build a new post-harvest line. Other times it is enough to add a grain storage silo, adjust the conveying routes, add a grain cleaner or modernize part of the older equipment.
Budget, subsidies, the available site or its construction readiness often come into the decision. That is why it makes sense to build some projects in stages.
The first stage has to work on its own. At the same time it must not block further expansion of the post-harvest line.
We design a solution that makes sense today and leaves room for your operation to grow.
We do not finish at installation
When equipment stops in the middle of the season, it is not a small matter. That is why we provide service within 24 hours, in season too.
The aim is for the equipment to run without unnecessary downtime. But when you do need service, we are available. We provide warranty and post-warranty service, spare parts, modifications, equipment extensions and operator training.
Our goal is not just to supply the equipment. It has to keep working in your operation over the long term.
More about serviceOur work in practice
Nothing shows what we do better than our completed projects. Among them you will find standalone feed silos, grain conveyors, modernizations of older equipment and complete post-harvest lines.
Post-harvest line
ZD “Kalich”
A post-harvest line with drying, cleaning, conveying and storage.
Staged project
ZD Korolupy (1st stage)
A project the customer later extended with another part of the equipment.
We choose equipment to suit the operation
We work with proven manufacturers of equipment for grain storage, drying, cleaning and conveying. But the brand alone is not enough.
The deciding factor is whether the equipment fits into the whole. That is why we look at capacity, how the parts connect, how it will be operated, installation, service and the option to expand later.
