Wilmar Indonesia Soybean & Palm Kernel Pressing Base | GSS Fully Enclosed Dust-Free Conveying System
Key Highlights
PT. Wilmar Nabati Indonesia, a major subsidiary of Wilmar Group located at a key port-side industrial park in Southeast Asia, is in urgent need of a complete set of large-capacity, fully enclosed, environmentally friendly and dust-free bulk grain conveying and dust removal system for its large-scale dual pressing production line of soybeans and palm kernels.
GSS delivered a fully automated conveying and dust control system custom-engineered for soybean and palm kernel handling. The system comprises two 1,100 t/h high-capacity enclosed belt conveyors, four en-masse conveyors, one up-load drag conveyor, four high-pressure pulse dust collectors, four industrial fans and two pneumatic gates.
GSS fully enclosed belt conveyor features an ultra-high single-unit capacity of 1100 t/h, enabling rapid raw material warehousing and continuous feeding at the port plant. The enclosed conveying and pulse dust removal system efficiently suppresses dust and minimizes material loss, helping the plant fully meet Wilmar Group’s global high standards for green environmental protection.
Client Profile： A Leading Oil-seed Processing Hub in Southeast Asia
PT. Wilmar Nabati Indonesia, located in an Indonesian port-side industrial park, is Wilmar Group’s core oil deep-processing and logistics base in Southeast Asia. Benefiting from its prime port location, the facility integrates port unloading, raw material storage, pressing and refining processes. It processes large volumes of imported soybeans and local palm kernels, serving as a vital hub securing the regional bulk edible oil supply chain.
Goals & Challenges
As a major oil-seed crushing hub, the facility faced several universal industry challenges during raw material receiving, transfer, and workshop feeding:
- High-Volume Port Receiving & Continuous Workshop Feeding ：The plant required high-throughput receiving equipment capable of handling over 1,000 t/h to rapidly transfer raw soybeans from vessels into silos, while ensuring steady, uninterrupted supply to downstream processing lines.
- Dual-Commodity Handling for Soybeans & Palm Kernels: Soybeans and palm kernels possess distinct material characteristics (density, flowability, and dust tendency), demanding tailored conveying equipment to maintain stable flow without clogging or material damage.
- Strict Environmental & Dust Control Standards：High-speed bulk handling generates substantial dust in transfer towers and feeding points. Complete enclosure and efficient pulse dust extraction are mandatory to comply with Wilmar Group’s strict environmental policy.
Customized Solution： Integrated System for Efficient Dual Oilseed Conveying and Environmental Dust Collection
To meet Wilmar’s heavy-duty operational and environmental standards, GSS delivered a custom, one-stop bulk material handling and dust collection solution specifically engineered for soybeans and palm kernels processing：
- 1,100 t/h High-Capacity Enclosed Belt Conveyors (2 units): GSS supplied 2 high-capacity enclosed belt conveyors: one at 159.4 m and the other at 98.2 m in length, delivering an ultra-high soybean throughput of 1,100 t/h. The fully enclosed casing prevents spillage and dust escape during long-distance bulk transfer.
- En-Masse Conveyors for Palm Kernels & Soybeans (4 units) : GSS supplied 2 en-masse conveyors ( 30 t/h, 34m) for palm kernel distribution, and 2 en-masse conveyors ( 50 t/h, 8.5m) for soybean feeding, featuring dust-tight construction and low grain damage.
- Up-Load Drag Conveyor ( 1 unit) : GSS supplied 1 up-load drag conveyor (110 t/h, 13.3m) for vertical rise, enabling flexible material flow in compact workshop layouts.
- GSS Environmental Dust Control & Flow Control Package : GSS supplied 4 high-pressure pulse dust collectors paired with 4 industrial fans (3 units of GM11A and 1 unit of 5-48-4.5A) and 2 pneumatic gates to collect dust at transfer points, ensuring a dust-free production environment.
