Aflasafe Pilot Plant Objectives
Demonstration-scale plant to be used as a model to:
• Optimize and adapt the manufacturing process
• Reduce aflasafe manufacturing cost
• Produce axenic Bio pesticide
• Model turn-key facility for replication in other countries
• Demonstrate commercial viability for mass production
of Aflasafe and recruit commercial partners.

Scaling Up
Lab & manufacturing Plant core processes:
Production of the inoculum
Production of the substrate/carrier
Inoculation/Coating
Packaging (weighing, sealing and labelling)
Current (Lab) production process 1.2 t/wk (300kg/day)
Manufacturing Plant:
• Mechanise Lab Production
• Scaled up to 5t/hr
• Simplify production
o Cleaning
o Sterilisation – dry process and cost reduction
o Inoculation – coating
o Packaging – simple and cheap

Production and Pending works
• Production of aflasafe for: • Nigeria – 9.6 tons
• Senegal – 6 tons
• Burkina Faso – 1.5 tons
• Zambia – 11 tons
• Kenya – 1.8 tons
• Installation of PLC Panel by Siemens to: • Monitor critical processes: temperature, RH.
• Control Critical Process
• Display real time operation of the entire plant and processes
• Packaging system by AccuTech • For packaging of small packs (2-10kg) and big packs (10-20 kg)
• Sealing of weighed product.
• Weighing management system (AMIC)

Conclusion
• Commercialization: 2 investors ready
• Conclusion
• Roasting has proven viable to kill and sterilize aflasafe TM substrate.
• The production facility can be cleaned to a microbiological
standard using hot, roasted grains.
• aflasafe TM produced in this facility meets rigorous standards, at a
lower cost, and using commercially available equipment.
