The grain dryer is a highly efficient and energy-saving hot air drying equipment, equipped with a rotary heating device. It is able to produce a large amount of hot air in a short time, realizing uniform drying and insecticidal treatment for many kinds of grain crops such as corn, wheat, sorghum, and so on.

working principle of the grain dryer

It is an important mechanical equipment for preventing grain mold, improving storage quality, and achieving economic benefits. It is widely used in family farms, grain stores, cooperatives, and agricultural processing enterprises.

Grain dryer’s main application

This grain dryer machine is suitable for the drying treatment of many kinds of grain crops, including but not limited to:

  • Corn, wheat, rice, soybeans, sorghum
  • Millet, oats, barley, peas
  • Rapeseed, peanuts and other types of seed crops

Whether it is grain with high moisture content at the beginning of harvest or seeds that need to be preserved for a long time, this equipment can operate stably and ensure the drying effect.

Grains input time Around 63 minutes Around 69 minutes
Grains output time Around 58 minutesAround 64 minutes
Drying timeFor example, normally, the best humidity of the paddy rice for milling should be 14.5%, and drying time depends on the humidity before drying.
If the rice humidity before drying is 24%, reducing the humidity of rice from 24% to 14.5%, the humidity can decrease by around 1% per hour.
It takes about 10 hours. Inputting the rice to the dryer needs about 1h, outputting the rice from the dryer takes about 1h, total cycle needs about 12hours.
Drying temperature Rice or wheat ,around 55℃
Corn 85-90℃

Advantages of cereal dryer

  • Strong adaptability: it is suitable for a variety of grain and seed materials to meet diversified needs.
  • Uniform drying, low crushing rate: unique S-shaped falling path design, so that the grain is heated uniformly, low-temperature and long-time drying, reducing the crushing rate and improving the quality of finished products.
  • Low energy consumption, high thermal efficiency: adopting constant temperature and low temperature drying, avoiding secondary pollution and saving fuel cost.
  • Stable performance, mold and moisture prevention: consistent humidity in the drying room, effectively preventing moldy grain and prolonging storage time.
  • Sturdy structure, long service life: the main parts are made of thickened stainless steel, wear-resistant and rust-proof, and the grain flows smoothly.
  • Low drying cost: adopting mixed-flow design with angled air inlet, smooth ventilation, no need for frequent cleaning, saving maintenance cost.
  • Environmentally friendly technology: electrostatic spraying process body, anticorrosive and durable, prolong service life.

How to avoid broken corn during operation?

In order to ensure that the dried corn is intact and not broken, Taizy grain drying machine adopts several optimized designs, effectively avoiding the secondary damage caused by traditional equipment.

  • Eliminate screw conveyor: self-flowing design to avoid high-speed collision between corn and equipment.
  • Raise the height of the equipment: corn falls naturally, reducing the extrusion and impact.
  • Reduce the secondary damage: avoid the collision of the corn which has been damaged after threshing again.
  • Drying more evenly: optimize the hot air circulation, reduce the crushing rate, and improve the quality of finished products.
