Published purpose

This project aims to involve replacing the energy-intensive grain drying system (acquired in 2007) which has no cooling equipment, by a new LAW mixed-flow type unit with heat recovery. The new dryer will reduce fuel consumption by continuously mixing the grain during drying and by recovering heat from the dry grain. The dryer has a totally enclosed design with insulated walls to minimize heat loss. It can be operated around the clock, even during harsh weather. The system has low noise emissions and its enclosed design also reduces the amount of grain dust released to the air, thus lessening the impact on the surrounding environment (human population).
