Grain Dryer

Many Benefits You Can See after Using Our Grain Dryer

Precision Moisture Control

ANON developed a crushing moisture meter to take samples after each drying cycle, crushing the grains to measure moisture, providing more accurate results than surface detection methods. In the tower dryer, the gains will go through the tempering zone, drying zone, and cooling zone many times, and each cycle, we will use our crushing moisture meter to take samples and crush the grains to measure moisture. When all the grains pass the moisture test, the dryer will stop working. And the mobile grain dryer will have an automatic online temperature and humidity detector to ensure the grain’s moisture gets down to a safe level.

Less Broken Rice

When drying grains, it may cause them to break in the conveying and drying process. ANON deeply considers these hidden losses and is devoted to protecting every grain for our customers. Our 5H series drying towers utilize auger-free elevators for grain transportation at the top and bottom, preventing grain breakage and loss during transportation. And our drying towers employ a low-temperature, slow-circulating drying method for more even drying and prevention of rice kernel cracking.

Benefit the Subsequent Process  

The grains after drying get their moisture content reduced to a safe level, making them suitable for the subsequent processing stages such as hulling, milling, and so on. If the moisture of the grain is high, it may cause bad milling efficiency because it may clog your machine; on the other hand, if the moisture is too low, the broken rate will increase. Through the precise control of the moisture, you will be more confident in the later process.

Protect the Food Safety

ANON grain dryers can help you kill the insects and mold of grain during the drying process, guaranteeing food safety. After drying, the grain is less prone to dampness, clumping, mold, and insects, making it suitable for long-term storage, winter storage, and preservation without spoilage throughout the year. You don’t need to worry about the long-term storage or transportation anymore.

Durable and Sturdy

ANON grain dryers use special paint materials. It makes our dryers have a more lightweight and resilient. When the grains flow inside the dryer, the rice husks have high friction and are easy to break, which will damage the coating of the steel plate. By using this special material, our grain dryer is more durable and has a longer service life compared to similar machines. What’s more, the lightweight can also help you save on shipping costs!

Save Construction Costs

Whether you want a tower dryer or a mobile dryer, ANON can help you reduce the construction cost. Our tower dryers feature a low-profile design, making it easier to construct workshops for placement and at the same time reducing your construction cost. The mobile dryer is small in size and equipped with wheels, which make it easy to move. Using a mobile dryer, you don’t even have to construct anything!

Good AdaptabilityAn 

ANON grain dryer can be used for different kinds of crops such as wheat, rice, corn, soybeans, and so on. You just need to set the corresponding safe drying moisture value for different crops. When they reach the target moisture, the dryer will stop working.

And our dryer is available for multiple biomass fuels such as straw, rice husks, wood, etc, which is environmentally friendly and energy saving.

Different Types to Choose

Anon manufactures different types of grain dryers for you to choose. We have tower dryers and mobile dryers for you, suitable for large-scale and small-scale farms or grain processing plants, respectively. Besides the appearance, as for the drying structure, we have a cross-flow dryer and a mixed flow dryer. The cross flow dryer has the advantages of simple structure and economy, while the mixed flow dryer has a evenly drying effect. And according to the working methods, we provide a circulating grain dryer and a batch grain dryer for you to choose. Contact us to get the most professional selection suggestions.

FAQ

How much do grain dryers cost?

The price of a new grain dryer typically ranges from $30,000 to over $300,000, depending on capacity, type (portable or tower), and level of automation. Small-capacity or used batch dryers may cost around $10,000 to $25,000, while large-capacity continuous flow or tower dryers typically cost over $100,000 to $200,000.

How to choose between a mobile dryer and a tower dryer?

It mainly depends on the usage scenario and budget. Mobile dryers are flexible and mobile, requiring no fixed foundation or land use. They can be placed in fields or yards and are ready to use upon delivery, making them suitable for small and medium-sized farmers, cooperatives, or scenarios requiring mobile operations. Tower dryers require a foundation and supporting facilities, resulting in a larger initial investment, but they offer higher unit capacity and lower drying costs, making them suitable for large farms, grain depots, or large-scale commercial operations with fixed production sites. Simply put: choose a mobile dryer if you prioritize flexibility and don’t want to build a structure; choose a tower dryer if you prioritize long-term, large-scale benefits.

Will drying machines destroy the nutrients in grains?

No, under proper operation. Drying only removes excess moisture and has minimal impact on major nutrients such as starch and protein. However, excessively high temperatures can reduce the quality of wheat gluten and increase the rate of rice cracking. Using recommended temperatures and tempering processes can preserve the processing quality and taste of grains.

What preparations need to be made before using the dryer?

Before using the dryer, you need to clean the grains to remove soil, straw, and weeds, ensuring that the impurity rate is controlled below 2%; Next, use a rapid moisture analyzer to measure the initial moisture content in order to set appropriate drying parameters; Then, based on the grain variety and actual moisture content, refer to the equipment manual to set key parameters such as hot air temperature, grain discharge speed, and slow drying time. Afterwards, please carefully check whether the cleaning doors at all parts of the equipment are tightly closed, whether the screen mesh is clean and unobstructed, and whether the hot air stove is in normal working condition; Finally, it is recommended that you run the machine empty for 5-10 minutes to confirm that it is running smoothly and without any abnormal noise before officially starting the drying operation. These preparation steps can effectively ensure the drying effect and equipment safety.

What safety precautions should be taken when using a dryer?

When using a dryer, please be sure to observe the following safety precautions: During equipment operation, it is strictly forbidden to put your hands into the feed inlet, discharge outlet, or any cleaning door; if you are using a coal-fired or biomass hot air furnace, please take precautions against fire and regularly clean the furnace ash and flue gas deposits; for gas or oil-fired models, a gas leak alarm must be installed and the work area must be well-ventilated; electric dryers must ensure reliable grounding and that the cables are undamaged; regardless of the model, a fire extinguisher must be available on site; after each shutdown, please empty the remaining grain from the machine promptly to prevent spontaneous combustion due to grain accumulation; in addition, all operators should undergo professional training before operating the dryer. Strict adherence to these rules will ensure your safety and the stable operation of the equipment.

How many tons can a dryer dry at a time? How long does the drying process take?

You need to determine the drying capacity of the dryer based on its model, as different models have different drying capacities.

Small mobile dryers typically process 5-20 tons per batch, medium-sized tower dryers process 30-100 tons per batch, while large continuous dryers can process 5-100 tons per hour. As for drying time, it varies depending on the crop. Wheat generally only requires a few hours, while rice, due to its low-temperature tempering process, usually requires tens of hours to dry. We recommend choosing a suitable model based on your daily processing capacity requirements.
