What does a turnkey seed processing plant include?
A turnkey seed processing plant includes the complete design, supply, and construction of all facility systems, including the building structure, all processing equipment (cleaning, sorting, treating, packaging), conveyance systems, electrical and controls, and dust management, delivered as a single integrated, ready-to-operate facility.
Does Vistasort provide 3D plant layout design?
Yes. Vistasort's design team produces detailed 3D facility layouts that allow you to fully visualize your plant before construction begins, including equipment placement, material flow, operator access paths, and building structure. This ensures every design decision is approved before any construction cost is committed.
Can Vistasort design a plant for a specific crop or processing requirement?
Yes. Every Vistasort plant design is tailored to the client's specific crops, throughput requirements, site constraints, and operational goals. We have designed facilities for cereals, pulses, oilseeds, grass seeds, and specialty crops, and can accommodate mixed-crop operations that require processing flexibility.
Does Vistasort handle both new plant construction and facility upgrades?
Yes. Vistasort provides full support for greenfield (new) facility builds as well as existing plant expansions, retrofits, and equipment upgrades. Whether you're adding a single processing line or redesigning your entire facility, our team will manage the project from design through completion.
Where does Vistasort design and build seed and grain processing plants?
Vistasort designs and builds seed and grain processing plants across Canada, with a home base in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
