Long before the first truck arrives with fresh açaí, hundreds of hours are spent designing what happens inside the factory.
This engineering drawing shows part of the planning process behind the Amazterra processing facility.
Every pipe, pump, conveyor, tank and processing machine must be carefully integrated into a system that preserves product quality, minimizes waste and ensures efficient operation.
For Amazterra, this planning phase was particularly important.
The facility is designed to process up to 5 tonnes of fresh açaí per hour, allowing fruit to be transformed into high-quality products much closer to where it is harvested.
Reducing the time between harvest and processing is critical.
Fresh açaí begins to deteriorate shortly after harvest. Efficient logistics and modern processing infrastructure help preserve quality while increasing the value that can remain within the region.
Designing a facility in the Amazon also presents unique challenges.
Equipment must be transported over long distances. Utilities must operate reliably in a remote environment. Future expansion needs must be considered from the very beginning.
Every line on a drawing represents a future piece of infrastructure.
Every engineering decision influences efficiency, quality and sustainability for years to come.
Today these plans are becoming reality as the Amazterra facility moves from design and construction toward commissioning and operation.
What begins as lines on a screen eventually becomes a factory capable of supporting thousands of farming families throughout the Codajás–Anori region.
Every successful production system starts with a plan.
