In the henequen shredder plant, it shows vestiges of the first engines and machines of the 19th century for the agricultural and industrial process. In the engine room, a German diesel engine with 100 HP of power brand Körting (Hannover) from 1913 is kept in good condition, which was used until 1984 when the production of henequen fiber on the farm ended, after more than a century.
