Just putting the finishing touches to a very nice compact grain drying and seed dressing plant In Estonia by our dealer and installer RV along with our 80tph split column drier and our biggest control panel to date ! A 10 metre long, with 193 motors and 153 different route options all programmed...

Climate change is not going away so I thought I’d post these two images I took with my thermal imaging camera. They show the heat losses on the surface area of the hot air column of an uninsulated dryer and our own insulated dryer. Both dryers were drying at 70 degrees C. As you can see the...

Firstly thank you for spotting the mistake (will amend before posting on another thread) and yes we are working on that. We have the basic design in place and are hoping for trials next year .Here at Graintek we are always striving for perfection and new ideas to keep in front of our competition...

Not at the moment but we are working on a design and getting costings to see if it is practical in terms of cost of unit and electricity to run the unit. But insulating the dryer is a great starter for 10 and very easy to do on our dryers. Back at the start when we started making grain dryers I...

Thankyou it was a great project to design, manufacture and install. Total size of that shed was 84m long x 36m wide with the first two bay for intakes, control room and dressing plant

This is a continuous flow dryer using the last section for cooling before entering into store and when stopping at night we have 20min static cool time and because the dryer is totally insulated there is no condensation in the centre column also retaining residual heat so very quick to warm...

Carrying on from our smallest grain dryer to our largest so far is our 200 tonne model fully insulted and cladded and weather roof ( all our dryers are done this way)with virtually no heat loss as opposed to uninsulated dryers, the hot air plenum alone has a surface area of 311 square meters...

Yes it like sticking a radiator in your garden you heat the air and stick a box over it the heat stays in . We got Rockwool to do a heat loss calculation based on our 30 TPH dryer if uninsulated it could loose up to 20,000kw of heat energy per harvest . this equates to about 2000 litres of fuel.

This one was drying roughly using 6 litres per tonne going down to 12.5% which is a hard dry at at low temperature if you were not coming down that far it would be less. Anything less than 14% it gets harder to dry if you want a chat please call me on 07831 451273

Thankyou ,In this case it is kerosene

Around £35K as steel prices have doubled since this was built

It rated at 2tph from 20 - 15% @ 85 deg C using roughly 7 litres per hour, low power consumption running of 13A plug cost would be around £35K as steel prices have doubled since this was built
