1. Finished Flour Storage:
The final milled flour is stored in large storage silos and depots. These silos are designed to maintain the quality and freshness of the flour.
Flour storage silos and depots are equipped with temperature and humidity control systems to create an ideal storage environment that prevents spoilage and ensures product consistency.
2. Bulk Storage:
For large-scale commercial and industrial customers, flour will be stored in bulk silos. These are designed to handle significant quantities and maintain product quality until it's ready for packaging and delivery to the final destinations.
3. Packaging for Retail and Wholesale:
Flour intended for retail sale or wholesale distribution is packaged in various-sized bags, typically made of plastic. These bags are stored in palletized loads in controlled warehousing facilities to await distribution.
4. Quality Control and Traceability:
At every stage of storage, quality control measures are in place. Regular inspections are conducted to check for product integrity and to ensure that storage conditions meet quality and safety standards.
Batch and lot numbers are recorded, and the entire storage process is designed to maintain traceability for quality assurance and product recall purposes.
5. FIFO System (First-In-First-Out):
We employ a FIFO system to ensure that the oldest product is used or distributed first. This practice helps maintain product freshness and quality.
6. Regulatory Compliance:
Flour storage facilities are designed to adhere to strict regulatory standards and requirements. This includes allergen declarations, labeling, and compliance with food safety regulations.
7. Inventory Management:
Advanced inventory management systems are utilized to track the quantity, location, and condition of stored flour. This helps us maintain adequate stock levels and facilitates efficient distribution.
8. Pest Control:
Flour storage facilities are equipped with effective pest control measures to prevent infestations, which can compromise product quality and safety.
