Industry Challenges We Solve

Understanding the unique operational challenges of edible oil and grain processing — and how automation addresses them.

Project Engineering

Large-scale edible oil plants require significant investment and long project cycles, with complex coordination across civil, process, and electrical disciplines.

Workforce & HSE

Experienced operators reduce consumption and improve yield, but growing HSE regulations demand automated safety systems and reduced manual intervention.

Plant Maintenance

Traditional reactive maintenance provides limited diagnostics. In low-margin, high-volume processing, every hour of unplanned downtime means significant losses.

Cost Control

Production yield and cost management are critical — covering raw materials, energy consumption, labor, maintenance, and overhead across every processing stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our food & beverage automation solutions.

What types of food & beverage processing do you support?
SENTRADO supports the full range of edible oil and grain processing operations including soybean pretreatment and pressing, solvent extraction, crude oil refining (degumming, neutralization, bleaching, deodorization), grain milling, filling and packaging lines, and bulk storage management. We also handle byproduct processing such as meal drying and cooling.
What advantages does PCS 7 offer over traditional PLC systems?
SIMATIC PCS 7 provides a fully integrated DCS with centralized engineering, batch processing capabilities, historical data management, and advanced process control — far beyond what standalone PLCs can deliver. PCS 7 enables multi-station coordination, recipe management, electronic batch records for food safety compliance, and seamless integration with MES/ERP systems.
Can you deliver turnkey projects for complete edible oil plants?
Yes, we provide complete turnkey automation services for edible oil processing plants — from initial process design and electrical engineering, through PLC/DCS programming, panel fabrication, installation, commissioning, and operator training. Our turnkey approach covers pretreatment, pressing, extraction, refining, fractionation, and packaging lines with capacities from 1,000 to 6,000+ tons per day.
What food safety measures are built into your automation systems?
Our systems are designed for full FDA and GMP compliance. Features include electronic batch records, traceability from raw material to finished product, automated CIP control, temperature and pressure interlocks for process safety, allergen management logging, and integration with laboratory information systems (LIMS). All data is securely archived for regulatory audits.
Do you support overseas project implementation?
Absolutely. We have extensive experience delivering projects internationally, including large-scale edible oil plants in Brazil (6,000 T/D), Turkey (4,000 T/D), and Egypt (100,000 tons/year). Our overseas services include remote engineering, on-site commissioning, multilingual HMI configuration, and after-sales technical support via remote access.
