This full ownership creates both pride and logistical complexity.<\/p>\n<p>As their supply chain grew, so did their storage and handling challenges:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tons of grain arrive directly from farmers\u2019 fields during harvest.<\/li>\n<li>Traditional solutions like metal bins or stacking loose big bags proved inefficient, bulky, and hard to manage.<\/li>\n<li>Large silos required intensive cleaning and air systems to empty, adding time and cost.<\/li>\n<li>Grain storage also demands proper ventilation\u2014without it, moisture fluctuations can spoil a batch in just 12 hours.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The bakery needed a flexible, food-safe, space-saving system that could handle everything from field harvest to mill delivery while protecting product quality.<\/p>\n<h3>The Indus Solution<\/h3>\n<p><strong>A Unified System from Field to Mill<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Van Eeckhout discovered Indus Neva through one of their farmers in Wallonia. After testing a few demo units, they quickly scaled up\u2014starting with 100 Nevas and adding another 75 the following summer.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how Neva transformed their process:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Direct transfer from the combine harvester into big bags secured in Nevas\u2014right on the field.<\/li>\n<li>Grain stacked three-high in storage, building a 6-meter-high grain wall that saves 60% of space.<\/li>\n<li>Nevas move seamlessly from field to storage to mill\u2014ensuring one way of working across the supply chain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cFrom the field to storage and to the mill: we use the same solution for everything,\u201d<\/em> says Marc van Eeckhout.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ventilation per big bag prevents moisture build-up, protecting grains from spoilage. Unlike silos, which require thorough cleaning, big bags are recycled after use, saving time and reducing the risk of pests or contamination.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Faster, Smarter Emptying<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In the past, semi-fixed 30-ton big bags were offloaded into silos, requiring air systems to empty them.<\/li>\n<li>With Neva, gravity does the work\u2014simply open the slide at the bottom of the deck.<\/li>\n<li>Even at slight angles (23 degrees), Neva empties faster and more efficiently than silos, with optional unloading stations for complete flow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2407 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/indus-bulklogistics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/logo_traagste_brood-removebg-preview-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"131\" height=\"131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indus-bulklogistics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/logo_traagste_brood-removebg-preview-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/indus-bulklogistics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/logo_traagste_brood-removebg-preview-12x12.png 12w, https:\/\/indus-bulklogistics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/logo_traagste_brood-removebg-preview.png 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 131px) 100vw, 131px\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;With the Indus Neva we have been able to make a major efficiency improvement in our processes&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/em><strong>Marc van Eeckhout<\/strong>, Owner<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>The Result<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Fully Flexible and Futureproof<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Neva\u2019s lightweight, durable polypropylene design ensures food safety and ease of handling.
