STORAGE & EXPORT
Grain Packing
PLC controlled grain handling conveyor system.
Formula Forage Australia has a PLC controlled packing line, with capacity to pack a shipping container in 240 seconds. All silos have electro mesh gates operated by gear drives which are controlled by PLC automation. This allows the operator to blend grains to exact measures and better service our clients needs.
Located within an 80km drawing arc of grain producing towns like Yarrawonga, Corowa, Balldale, Burrumbuttock, Rand and Culcairn, and positioned 200m from a rail freight terminal and 1km from the Hume Freeway, offers attractive logistics from farm to Port of Melbourne.
Fumigation services are provided using either Methyl Bromide or Quickphos, with 120mt “hospital silo’s” we can limit fumigation costs by segregating contaminated grain to treat the smaller consignment before its comingled.
Grain Analysis

Infratec™ NOVA stands as the worldwide gold standard in grain analysis, offering an unparalleled level of security, confidence, and reliability in this field. With a legacy of 30 years, it has established itself as a global solution designed to meet the needs of a diverse market.
Since its introduction in 1987, Infratec™ has swiftly emerged as the foremost choice for grain analysis, underpinning the smooth conduct of billions of dollars’ worth of equitable grain trade annually. Notably, a remarkable 80% of all globally traded wheat undergoes testing through Infratec™ systems.
The FOSS NIR calibration, a hallmark of Infratec™, has become a universal benchmark for assessing protein and moisture content in whole grain wheat and barley. Its adoption underscores its indispensable role in the grain industry, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of these critical measurements.
