VRAC PLUS exhibits its know-how in Auvergne lands
VRAC PLUS group was present at the Livestock Summit from October 5th to 8th, 2021 (Cournon d'Auvergne – Puy de Dôme 63). VRAC PLUS had an outdoor stand to showcase a truck and trailer with unique features.
There were many meetings: it was a pleasure to see our clients again and especially to discuss their professions and activities.
The truck and trailer on display was in the colours of JAMBON Animal Feed , a long-time customer of TSCI – VRAC PLUS .
JAMBON Animal Feed is a company based in Murat and located in the Massif Central.

JAMBON Animal Feed company had a specific set of requirements. Mr. Berthon, logistics manager, details some of its characteristics:
“We are developing our business around the Cantal region and had been planning a truck and trailer combination for a few years. It was essential that this combination be the most suitable for our business and our region.”.
VRAC PLUS had extensive experience with semi-trailer . One of our requests was to have a silo auger mounted on the trailer that matched the truck. This configuration will allow us to deliver silage while remaining coupled to the farm. By positioning the truck parallel to the trailer, we can also load the trailer's compartments into the truck. This is a logistical advantage: the truck can operate independently and access difficult-to-reach locations.
Another request was to have e-silo automation on the tankers, identical to the previous bodied vehicles. VRAC PLUS had not yet developed this module for its trailers
The e-silo offer is implemented using an on-board automation system equipped with a 10" industrial touchscreen. Particularly ergonomic, the driver can see the progress of their delivery at a glance and monitor the smooth running of deliveries through a very intuitive interface.
Géraud Serre, operational manager of the Jambon group, explains:
"E-silo automation makes the use of tanks easier and allows us to have a history of deliveries (time stamp of opening and closing of hatches, cleanings Everything in the silo).
We've established an organic food business in the Cantal region. In these sectors, food traceability is essential. It's even more crucial with nine compartments!
Finally, the icing on the cake is that the total payload approaches 26 tonnes thanks to the screw scraper configuration, exclusive to VRAC PLUS and an optimized design.
Throughout the 4 days, many clients and visitors were impressed by this collection, which was particularly well showcased in the aisles of the show.
