Silos Córdoba's completes poultry farm for Larrode SAT Poultry

 

 

 

Gandaria, Silos Córdoba's livestock division, has recently built a poultry farm for Larrode SAT Poultry, located in Tauste province of Zaragoza, Spain.

 

The site is a closed turnkey facility with tunnel ventilation, 140 + 5 meters (double technical room), and 15 meters wide.

 

The structure is made of IPE-220 frames painted with chlorine rubber. The straps are galvanized with a 2mm coating.

 

The roof is made of a 30mm thick sandwich panel, along with a false ceiling (Pur-al 40mm) and enclosure (sandwich panel, 50mm).

 

All joints are sealed with polyurethane, silicone and sanitary sealant, which gives the necessary seal for perfect ventilation.

 

The air inlets are constructed using polyurethane with rubber seals on the closures (TPI). The tunnel entrance (also sandwich panel) is conveniently sealed with watertight seal.

 

The poultry farm is also equipped with three silos of 19 tonnes each; a 90 diameter conveyor with special drops; four lines of GAN 14 feeders; five lines of Gandaria drinkers, with stainless steel nipples which are multidirectional and provide a high flow rate; climate control consisting of 12 fans - 43,000 M3/h - and two fans - 19,000 m3/h (Minimum), eight cooling modules with independent pumps; four propane generators; and LED lighting adjustable from 0 to 100%.

 

All these components are regulated by a 'Copilot' control which is integrated within the electrical panel.

 

The facility also includes a telephone alarm to remotely receive alarms via telephone as well as two smartphones to control the performance of the farm and change parameter values if necessary.

 

Silos Córdoba is currently finishing the setup of another poultry farm in Acehuche (Caceres, Spain), four in Panama, and two in Costa Rica.

 

Additionally, the company is about to build three more farms in several Spanish cities including Toledo Valencia, Lugo and Seville.
