SeedarDriers at the Royal Cornwall Show

Seedar, for the first time, attended the Royal Cornwall Show last week to support local agent A. G. Prowse of Truro.  Allen has been the West Country agent since 2005. He supplies and services both new and second hand Seedarmobile grain driers.

On the A.G. Prowse stand Seedarexhibited a PTO powered 15 tonne mobile batch grain drier. It afforded many farmers in the area their first ever opportunity to inspect a Seedargrain drier up close.  From talking to farmers, it was clear that the batch grain drier is a key piece of equipment on farms in the South West. Everyone we spoke to had thorough understanding of the machines and many were quick to recognise the high level of specification and build quality that Seedaroffers.

As many farmers in the area are located near the coast, the galvanising of key structural elements on the entire Seedarrange is an attractive feature. Galvanising prevents rusting and significantly increases durability. It extends the working life of the machine when situated in an corrosive saline environment.

The new SeedarSuper range (pictured above) received much attention. The Supers have the smallest capacity of the entire Seedarrange (7 to 10 tonnes) while still benefiting from the same high standards of design and specification. The simplified, robust design offers the possibility of reduced capital expenditure without compromising on Seedar’s high level of drying performance.

While the West Country farmers were impressed with the range of Seedargrain driers, on my first trip to the Royal Cornwall Show, I was impressed by the range of local ales and ciders served in the Member’s tent. I would like to take this chance to thank Allen warmly for his hospitality during the show.

In consideration of all the above, we plan to make the Royal Cornwall Show a permanent fixture on our calendar.
