The Problem

The facility needed multiple conveyor additions and modifications compatible with existing presses, silos, and handling routes. Every stage had to be completed with minimal disruption to production and without compromising system reliability or material flow.

The Solution

AFSystems supported each expansion with updated layouts, equipment supply, and upgrade planning. The goal was to ensure every new section would integrate seamlessly with earlier stages while preparing the facility for future production increases.

The Outcome

AFSystems supported the project by:

Developed new conveyor routes and modifications as required

Updated layouts and options across multiple upgrade phases

Supplied hardware including drives, tensioning units, transitions, and conveyor sections

Coordinated equipment supply to align with production schedules

Provided support during installation to keep disruption low

Alba Oils now operates a significantly expanded conveying system that supports higher capacity and improved material flow. The staged approach delivered reliable upgrades without interrupting production and provided a strong base for future site development.
