The Lilayi GLT plant
Green-leaf threshing (GLT) is where cured leaf becomes an export product. Because the plant processes our own crop, the specification is agreed before the line starts, not negotiated after.
- Throughput
- 15 000 kg/h green-leaf input, ≈50.7M kg nameplate over a 7-month season — line commissioning 2028
- Line
- SUR Engenharia (Brazil, est. 1996): five-stage threshing, 12′ apron lamina redryer, stem redryer, Fishburne-type two-charge lamina press; Siemens PLC/HMI. Manufacture 2026–27, commissioning 2028
From bale to blend
Incoming farm bales are received, graded and laid down to a blend instruction across blending tables and three conditioning cylinders, then picking and inspection ahead of the threshers. Five threshing stages (96″/72″/60″ threshers with multi-separators) strip lamina from stem, and both are conditioned to the agreed moisture before packing.
Moisture and quality control
The line is specified with a Coresta-standard test shaker and stem tester, continuous in-line moisture metering and metal detection at the prep line. Out-of-range product does not get packed. QC records stay with the lot and travel with the shipping documents.
Packing and dispatch
Finished product is packed to the buyer's format, marked, and staged for container loading at the plant.
The line, before Lilayi
The Lilayi line is specified and built by SUR Engenharia (Brazil, est. 1996), with COMAS process engineering and Concorde civils. Until commissioning in 2028, the photographs below show the same equipment at SUR reference installations — not the Lilayi plant.
