PE bags with a sophisticated gas barrier enabling grains, pulses and cocoa beans in the bag, to create a self generated modified atmosphere, similar to the principle of the CocoonTM.Can be manufactured as individual bags or as liners in PP, jute or paper bags from 10 kg till 1,000 kg.Ideal for packing and stocking of seed or sensitive products: spices, coffee, cocoa.

TranSafelinerTranSafeliner™™ oror TSLTSL™™
Installation GPP-TSL-20
For safe transport of commodities in shipping containers. A multilayer bag to be inserted in containers (20’ and 40’), enabling build up of biogas (as in thecase of cocoa) or alternatively, with the use of inserted CO2. During thetransit time the container will be “self fumigated”, ensuring arrival of theshipment free of insects. In addition the TSL prevents condensation anddamage as result of temperature fluctuations.`

Ideal for storing commodities in semi bulk without the need to fumigate, toprevent moisture ingress or oxidation. Provided as standard FIBC (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container (also “big bags” made of woven PP). GrainPro provides the hermetic liner only or complete sets of FIBC + hermetic liner.

GG--HF and VHF and V--HF CocoonsHF Cocoons™™G-HF CocoonsTM
Hermetic Fumigation with CO2Available in 5MT till 50MT, withidentical configuration as standardCocoons. In addition there is a gas inlet near the bottom and a gas outlet of 6” Ǿ at the top. Provided with all additional equipment for CO2 injection. This method isbeing used for “fumigation” of a commodity and rapid elimination ofall stages of insect development
V-HF CocoonsTM
Vacuum-Hermetic FumigationFor rapid fumigation ofcommodities of high value or forstorage of commodities at low O2 levels.This technology eliminates allstages of insect development in three days at room temperature. El Cocoon The V-HF Cocoon isconnected to a vacuum pump toreduce the O2 in the Cocoon to a level lethal to the insects.

GrainPro BunkerGrainPro Bunker™™ oror GPBGPB™™
2 Bunkers in Cyprus. Barley.Bunkers are the optimal solution if: •All silos are completely full.•Regional warehouses cannot handlestorage of grain.•There is a transport bottle neck.•Better prices are anticipated after theharvest time.•If long term storage is required.
Overview: •PVC is reusable for a period o 10 years at least.. •The PVC is impermeable to water and gases.. •Food grade PVC.
For storage or large quantities of grain without large investments in infrastructure. For large quantities of 3,000 tonne till 30,000 tonne. Withoutoperational costs. The grain will remain below the equilibirum moisturecontent.
