Market Overview:
Australia/New Zealand: Our driers have been sold in New Zealand and to a lesser extent in Australia for half a century and many of even the oldest of these can be found still operating today, helping us to recreate a new following among today’s generation of farmers.
New Guinea/Pacific: Alvan Blanch has over many decades developed a huge range of machinery to meet the needs of farmers and agro-industrialists in tropical regions.
Main Products:
Australia/New Zealand: Grain driers - the unique benefits of our Double Flow Drying System; such as those of flexibility on a wide variety of crops, fuel efficiency, are well established.
Industrial drying of biofuels such as wood chips and of other crops such as green forage has potential for us.
High energy costs and the drive for carbon neutral fuels has led to massive new interest from farmers in producing oil from rapeseed, sunflower etc for converting into bio-diesel – for which our new range of oil expelling presses are ideally suited.
On-farm feed milling equipment (roller mills and mixers) and our new range of liquid separation systems for farm slurry and vegetable processing waste are now being promoted.
New Guinea/Pacific: Small-scale agro-processing equipment for cocoa, rice, groundnut etc have provided past sales.
