UK materials handling specialist Guttridge, working alongside main contractor Chief Industries UK, has supplied all the materials handling equipment for a new chicken feed unit in Georgia. The new unit lies at the heart of Chirina’s fully integrated chicken production business, the largest in the region. Chirina contracted Chief to supply a fully integrated system for the provision of its poultry feed plant for maize, wheat and soya bean handling. The facility used a selection of equipment from Guttridge’s Carier range for in-plant conveying, receipt and outloading of bulk materials. 

“Guttridge has a good reputation and offers excellent service,” said Mark Temple, global sales manager at Chief industries UK. “It is a solid, established company, an important factor in the current economic climate, and easy to deal with. It’s great to be able to offer a fully UK engineered project that showcases what we, as a country, are capable of.” 

The whole facility was completed within three months, commissioned on schedule during the maize harvest and now operates to the full satisfaction of the customer. Rapid growth at Chirina has since led to further expansion and phase two of the project, an increase in capacity from 6000 to 20,000t, is already being implemented by the same partners. www.guttridge.co.uk
