Harvest 2010 trends – Seedarincreasingly used as fixed continuous batch grain driers

Several trends have emerged in the grain drying industry this harvest. I will take the next few posts to reflect on these. These reflections offer an opportunity to take stock in anticipation of the rapidly approaching UK Grain exhibition in November. The most notable trend is the continued rise in popularity of using Seedarmobile grain driers in an automated, continuous batch grain drying system. We briefly summarised this in a piece of editorial recently written for a UK Grain event supplement.

This season has seen further growth in the use of Seedargrain driers in continuous batch drying systems. The Seedar’s performance, reliability and durability makes it highly suited to being at the centre of high-output, automated grain drying installations.

Seedarautomation options make it possible to run continuous batches and feature a range of additional functions. The drier is also capable of controlling grain handling equipment required to fill and empty.

There is a compelling economic case for installing a Seedardrier in this way. It is based on relatively low capital costs and the high resale value of Seedargrain driers. Couple to this the ability to dry down from very high moisture levels in one pass, the Seedarcontinuous batch system presents an economical and robust grain drying option.

Furthermore, Seedarnow provide a turnkey service for fully integrating handling systems with the grain drier.
