Grain Bulk Handlers Ltd provides the following services:

Discharge of Bulk Grain

The discharge of bulk grain from vessels is fully mechanised and remote controlled. It is monitored from a control room which operates 24 hours a day every day. The main vessel discharge equipment is two portalinos; each with capacity to discharge 300mt per hour.

All discharged grain is automatically electronically weighed while being conveyed to the silos enabling the terminal to compile the vessel out-turn report immediately after completion of discharge.

Clearing and Forwarding
In an effort to offer comprehensive services to its customers, GBHL operates an associate company - Grain Hauliers Limited which offers support services i.e. clearing and forwarding, warehousing and transport and assists in the facilitation of documentation for the landing of un-entered consignments.

Bagging

For bagging, the terminal has two sheds, each fitted with 4 bagging plants which can be calibrated for bagging 25kg,  50kg and 90kg bags. The bagging sheds are also fitted with conveyors providing a total of 8 loading bays to road/or rail transport.

For deliveries in bulk, the terminal has three hoppers of which one is for road and two for rail deliveries.

The terminal is also fitted with dust extractors which enables it to sift dust from grain and bag the two separately for delivery to importers. The dust extraction is a safety device but also serves in enhancing the clean condition of grain on delivery to the importer. All terminal activities including the discharge operations are controlled and monitored at a central control room.

The terminal is also fitted with one rail and two road weighbridges. It also has two generators to continue operation whenever there is any disruption in the main power supply.
The terminal is self sufficient in maintenance and repair of all its equipment.

Warehousing
Currently, GBHL offers warehousing for bagged consignments only. We are, however, investing in the provision of additional silos to be built on an adjacent site for warehousing / storage of bulk grain.
