It shouldn't if you let them equalize for a while
Does that require air flow to help the process?

I sold mine to a chap from Poland just before I left. He dismantled it into 3 bits and hauled it off. Shouldn’t be too bad to move but when would you need it here?I have a lovely mecmar drier, if you took that off my hands it would stop me wasting time thinking about how to move it here

No I have left that pleasure to SicaBB co op. No storage here and won’t be while I am here. May be when we can move to our own place I will look at it but the hassle of storage is something i don’t miss!!Exactly.
For circulating as I add water too moisten it up?
No mainly as a cleaner, storage bin, bug remover.
Have you found out the magnitude of the problem with friggin beetles here yet?

I would hire in a Farrell trailer drier if you can. We used to hire ours out for £50 per hr plus fuel as a guide when we ran one four yrs ago.
For beans set it around 85 deg and give it 2 to 3 hrs with the three augers going.
Then moisture test and finish off in your own drier.
The damage to beans should be minimal compared to an Opico type drier but it wont clean the sample as well.
Well, we have circa 300 tonnes of spring beans still to cut and our whizzy continuous flow drier setup hates anything over 25%. Even clean samples just don't want to go through the pre cleaner & up the elevators, plus it's at least 3 trips around the drier if we don't want to split what has so far been a good quality sample. I can't see us cutting much under 30% moisture this week and then the weather turns wet again afterwards. What are my options?
Mobile batch drier?
Rent a drive on floor with gas burners?
Trailer drier??

Get rid sent them to somewhere like wild grain or a commercial store. All that faff for wet beans sounds horrible
we use our CF dryer as a batch dryer for very wet beans - fill it and direct output back into the top so they go round and round until dry
low heat
works well and is no hassle

My alvan blanch setup could dry anything, but very wet peas or beans would play havoc with the intake elevator.This is what we’re going to do. We store a lot of grain for a regional merchant so they are hiring a trailer drier as they have the same problem.
How do you get them into the system in the first place?
I've been told it would cost £50t to dry from 20some percent to 15. I can stand a bit of horror for that.Get rid sent them to somewhere like wild grain or a commercial store. All that faff for wet beans sounds horrible

I would have to get them cut first though. These are contract farm beans and think I will leave it in the hands of the agent. Desperately need a dry week before we can do anything.
Thank you. I think that’s what the merchant we store for is about to do. We haven’t got time to spend weeks messing about with it so will just chuck the beans at them. We’ve lifted 700 potted Christmas trees already this week and that side is about to get busier...

More seriously, surely if they are “potted Christmas trees”, you, erm, just pick them up?
