Concept for a factory for processing tropical almonds and fonio at Talmond GmbH

Overview

Location: Accra Region, Ghana
Project duration: two months, April - June 2025
Production area: to be roughly dimensioned in the project

HÖRMANN Rawema Engineering & Consulting GmbH successfully developed a factory concept for processing tropical almonds and fonio for Talmond GmbH. The project aimed to create a reliable basis for processes, areas, material flows, plant and personnel requirements and to prepare the implementation steps transparently.

Project content

Data collection and framework analysis

Evaluation of the current situation and relevant basics, including process data and waste heat quantities. Clean data as the basis for all further planning steps.

Develop and visualize process flows

Development and visualization of process flows along the value chain. Clear presentation of interfaces, sequences and quality requirements.

Dimensioning of space requirements

Estimation of space requirements based on planned production figures. Derivation of functional, logistics and technical areas for an efficient plant layout.

Facility and employee requirements

Dimensioning of the required facilities and employees for each process step. Focus on performance, quality and ergonomic workstations.

Rough layout with visTABLE (2D/3D)

Development of a rough layout for plant technology as well as logistics and functional areas using visTABLE in 2D/3D. Early visualization for the evaluation of path relationships and set-up areas.

Material flow determination

Determination of material flows with quantities, path relationships and buffer concepts. Basis for stable processes and short throughput times.

Rough cost estimate and implementation concept

Creation of a rough cost estimate with key cost drivers. Derivation of an implementation concept with prioritized steps for implementation.

Advantages of our solution

• Structured approach: Clear phases from data collection to rough layout ensure reliable decisions.
• Transparent basis for decision-making: Visualized process and material flows create understanding and comparability.
• Planning reliability: Dimensioning for areas, systems and personnel reduces risks during implementation.
• Practical relevance: visTABLE models (2D/3D) enable early validation of layout and route relationships.
• Scalability: The concept can be flexibly adapted to production volumes and expansion stages.
