New employees at a $350 million canola oil processing facility in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan are receiving training from AESSEAL.
The large canola crush plant has been built near the global transportation hub in Regina and is anticipated to start production in early 2026.
It will have the capacity to process one million tonnes of canola every year and provide significant opportunities for Saskatchewan farmers. This increased capacity will allow the facility to meet the growing global and domestic demand for canola, both in food and fuel markets.
AESSEAL Western Canada regional manager Brad Zurbrigg and technical sales engineer Skyler Dillman (pictured) provided training sessions for the company, which is one of Canada’s largest merchandisers and processors.
Maintenance and engineering staff, and plant operators attended training on mechanical seals and seal support systems related to AESSEAL products provided to the project, and the established mechanical seal standards.
Commissioning support was also provided for a new Flow Distribution Unit (FDU) Auto Top Up and 11 25-litre SW2 water management systems, which are located in the extraction area of the plant.
Skyler will return to the facility before the end of the year to provide additional training and commissioning support for six 25-litre P2 oil systems in the plant’s loadout area.
All the systems are supporting DMSF multi-spring double stationary pusher seals that feature monolithic faces and a bi-directional pumping scroll for Plan 53A systems.
