A grain drying tower is an important piece of equipment used to reduce grain moisture content after harvesting and before storage. By using controlled hot air circulation, grain drying towers help maintain product quality, reduce spoilage risks, and improve storage efficiency.
Chushu is the 14th solar term among the twenty-four solar terms. “Chu” in Chushu means “termination”, and the meaning of Chushu is “summer heat officially ends”. Therefore, there is a saying: Fighting for the autumn heat refers to the time between the beginning of autumn and the beginning of the heat. Although autumn has come in the sense, the heat of summer is still unabated.
Around the summer, it is the busy season of autumn harvest. Late rice is in the critical growth period from tillering to booting, and many fruits and breeding are also in the harvest period. The northern millet, corn, and sorghum have also matured for harvest, and cotton has begun to be harvested. The whole country is in an atmosphere of autumn harvest.
However, with the autumn harvest, the drying and safe storage of grain will follow. At present, the application penetration rate of grain drying towers is less than 10%. With the acceleration of the agricultural mechanisation process, the market prospect of new grain drying towers is very broad.
Large grain drying towers can only be configured for a very small number of grain processing and production enterprises. For small and medium-sized grain production and operation households, neither such a large processing capacity nor sufficient funds are needed to support this large-scale machinery. This forces the grain drying tower equipment manufacturers to accelerate the miniaturisation of the grain drying tower. Today’s new type of grain drying tower perfectly meets the requirements of small and medium-sized grain production and operation households.
Working Principle
A grain drying tower usually consists of drying sections, tempering sections, cooling sections, grain inlet and outlet systems, heating equipment, and control systems. During operation, wet grain enters the top of the tower and moves downward while heated air passes through the grain column to remove moisture. After drying and cooling, the grain reaches the required moisture level for safe storage.
After independent R&D and innovation, National Food Corporation launched a new type of grain drying tower to the market after identification by the agricultural machinery department. It has low input cost, high economic efficiency, and obvious competitive advantage. It has become a hot-selling model in the market and has an overall advantage over the new type of grain drying tower. :
- Strong applicability: At the beginning of the design, the new grain drying tower took into account the requirements for the diversity of grain crops during the operation of small and medium-sized users. The specially designed grain discharge mechanism can be applied to a variety of grains of different grains, regardless of corn, Rice, wheat and other food crops can be dried well;
- The price of the whole machine is low, and the input cost is reduced: compared with the purchase of a set of grain drying towers configured by grain processing enterprises, it will cost millions to purchase. After a simple installation and test machine, it can be put into production without preparing corresponding civil construction investment;
- The drying effect is beyond imagination: the new type of grain drying tower is achieved through the introduction of advanced drying technology. After the company’s R&D team integrates and redesigns the structure of the grain drying tower, through continuous experiments and optimisation, today’s new type of grain drying tower has a drying effect that is completely the same as that after natural drying. Even experts lament that it is impossible to distinguish which part is mechanically dried and which is naturally dried with the naked eye.
Applications
Grain drying towers are widely used for corn, wheat, rice, soybean, and other agricultural products. They are commonly installed in grain storage facilities, grain processing plants, farms, and agricultural cooperatives where continuous and efficient drying is required.
