Agro-processing / packhouse design 12 × 30 m starting form
Use an open-front shell to explore sorting, washing, preparation and dispatch. This flexible concept places editable worktables and transfer equipment opposite packing and staging space for an early process-layout conversation.

The range compares 4, 5, 6 bays at the same width, length, eave, roof, openings and selected sections. It describes those modelled arrangements; it is not an engineered minimum–maximum allowance.

End-wall framing is enabled, matching a fresh editor preset; modelled end posts are included where walls are clad. This is net frame, secondary-member and plate mass. Procurement waste, cladding, civil works, furnishings and equipment loads remain separate. No price, safe capacity or design approval is inferred.

The 3.0 m central stripe is a planning reserve, not an approved exit route or vehicle swept-path result. Equipment is generic; confirm capacity, service clearances and actual loads separately.
Questions, answered.
A closer look at the agro-processing / packhouse concept, its editable inputs and the decisions that belong in a project-specific design.
What are the starting dimensions of the agro-processing / packhouse?
The preset starts at 12 m wide by 30 m long, with a 4.5 m eave and 5 bays along its length. You can edit these dimensions. They describe a concept starting form, not an operating capacity or approved structural design.
Which crop can this agro-processing shed handle?
The generic layout does not prescribe a crop or process capacity. Start with the produce, receiving condition and intended operations, then replace the illustrated equipment with the supplier's requirements.
Are washing water and wastewater systems included?
Wash tables and a sink appear as spatial objects. Water treatment, drainage falls, effluent routes and cleaning arrangements need a separate services brief.
Can the open-front shed be enclosed?
Yes. Change the wall layout and add the required entries in the editor. Check weather exposure, process ventilation, hygiene zoning and structural implications when changing the envelope.
Does the central stripe prove a compliant access aisle?
It is an illustrative planning reserve. Verify personnel movement, handling equipment, operating clearances and emergency access against the actual process and applicable project requirements.
