    Importance of Insulation

    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...

    OUR LARGEST GRAIN DRYER YET

    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.
