What ZANIN srl does

ZANIN srl is an Italian industrial equipment manufacturer, founded in 1956 and headquartered in Casale sul Sile, Veneto, that designs, manufactures and installs machines and turnkey plants for the food farming industry. The company's core technology spans grain cleaning and separation (sieve, drum, aspiration, densimetric and optical selectors), drying systems (ERCL energy-saving, CR heat recovery, C, RA, MOBILDRY mobile, MINIDRY, RR rice, and slow cooling), mechanical conveying (bucket elevators, chain, belt, blade, auger and pneumatic conveyors), storage and ventilation (flat-base, conical, quick-loading and four-cell silos, grain chillers, thermometric systems), filtration (sleeve, cylindrical, mesh, cyclones), hoppers (mobile feed, rotary drum, port, DUST STOP), malting systems (Drum and Saladin), mechanical oilseed pressing (EVO and EVO 1), turnkey plants for rail/port logistics, fertilizer and chemical handling, and supporting accessories and heat generation equipment (biomass boilers, indirect fired generators).

The company operates as a single-member private limited company (s.r.l. unipersonale), has approximately 11 employees on the disclosed record, is ISO 9001:2015 certified by TÜV SÜD, and holds numerous Italian industrial patents. Its commercial model is direct enterprise field sales to grain processors, breweries and malt houses, port and rail logistics operators, oilseed processors, and fertilizer and chemical product companies; pricing is not publicly disclosed, multilingual website inquiry forms and phone-based contact drive lead capture, and revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales, turnkey system contracts, and engineering, consultancy and after-sales services including system revamping. International market activity has been continuous since the early 1990s, supported by a five-language corporate website (Italian, English, German, French, Spanish) and participation in trade fairs such as Fieragricola Verona, where the MOBILDRY mobile dryer won a gold medal in 1998.
