Silo design decisions shape a flour mill’s performance for decades. Andrea Nicolini takes the stage in Amman to show how.

Silo integration decisions made during flour mill design are rarely revisited once construction is complete.

Get them wrong, and a mill lives with structural inefficiencies, poor material flow, and higher operating costs for decades. Get them right, and the plant runs efficiently from day one.

At the IAOM MEA Regional Flour Milling Forum in Amman, Jordan \(21-22 September\), Andrea Nicolini, Sales Area Manager at CESCO EPC overseeing the MEA & LATAM region, will present “Criteria Based Design and Integration of Raw Material and Process Silos in Modern Flour Mills.”

The session addresses the questions that determine long-term plant performance:

✔️ Silo integration in flour mill design
✔️ Structural vs. functional design criteria, and where they conflict
✔️ Flat-bottom vs. hopper-bottom silos: a practical comparison
✔️ Space utilization in process silos
✔️ Integrated steel structures optimization
✔️ FIFO flow, hygiene, and environmental controls

Andrea brings years of experience in milling and grain storage, having managed large-scale international projects across multiple continents. His session translates that field experience into design criteria that mill operators and engineers can apply directly to their own projects.

If you’re attending IAOM MEA in Amman, this session is worth your time.
