[QUOTE="Cruiser_79, post: 7789365, member: 163496"] Okay thanks! We don’t need to keep up with the combine. But sometimes it is getting wet early in the evening while the harvesting still goes quite good. So if we can dry a part we have a kind of buffer. The grain isn’t stored but goes immediately to the buyer, who charge drying costs for everything above 15%. If we could dry 150 tons a year it would be great. I think I will only use willow and other species branches for firing the boiler. If possible for the boiler I could get round bales of roadside hay for free. But I’m afraid it will make too much ashes. The sawmill waste is good stuff and could make some money when selling. If I have a buyer I would rather sell it than burn it. To avoid problems with augers and drying I want to screen all chips to remove fines and the oversized chips. So 150 kw is probably needed for drying 50 m3 a time? [/QUOTE]
