CALYGRAIN

CEREALS DENSE LOADING
FOR SILOS

HIGHER CROP STORAGE COMPLYING WITH ECOLOGICAL COMMITMENTS

As the specialist of dense loading of catalyst particles in reactors of petroleum refining industry, CREALYST has successfully transferred its know-how into the field of crop storage. Since 2004, the company has acquired a large patent portfolio including CALYGRAIN® for the agricultural sector. The CALYGRAIN ® patented technology ensures a uniform loading of grains inside silos or wharehouses.

AN INOVATIVE SYSTEM
OF LOADING BY DENSIFICATION

THE DENSE AND HOMOGENEOUS FILLING OF GRAINS INSIDE SILOS OR WHAREHOUSES

CALYGRAIN ® collects the cereals coming from the Redler or from the belt-conveyor and distributes grains as rain shower, at a rate up to 1200 tons per hour inside the silo or the wharehouse with up to 30 meter diameter.

This unique solution can be used for all types of grains.

With higher crop storage and less treatment by insecticides, overall gain is increased.

The use of CALYGRAIN ® technology offers many advantages for improving agricultural crop storage.

Maximise the storage capacity : A homogeneous repartition of the grains gives a higher storage capacity (by 10 to 21% increase)

Intensify the grain conservation inside the silo : Thanks to a better ventilation, the bed homogeneity reduces the needs of pesticide

Upgrade the whole crop : A resale price increased thanks to homogeneity of the lots and absence of wastage

Research and innovation

CREALYST‘s reputation has been built on technological innovations bringing significant improvements in the service provided to the customers in quality, reactivity and safety.

CREALYST has invested every year, since its creation, an important proportion of its turnover for developing “useful” innovations. In this context, CREALYST was indeed eligible within the Research Tax Credit and the Innovation Tax Credit proposed by the French Government.

CREALYST has recently opened a new R&D center with a “scale one” vessel of 4 meter diameter. This tool helps CREALYST engineers better understand complex physics (particle trajectories and interactions,…), so as to improve our devices like Calydens, or for performing training. Some additional R&D apparatus are also used, like Calylab for comparing dense vs sock loading in lab, or one apparatus for analyzing the catalyst particle sizes and shapes.
