Description

The solid-fuel grain dryer is designed for drying grain and oilseed crops using biomass fuel (agricultural waste, sunflower husk pellets, straw pellets, buckwheat and millet husks, wood chips, grain cleaning waste, as well as ordinary firewood and coal).

Advantages

By using a dryer on alternative fuel you get:

- independence from the gas utility

- no need to invest in expensive documentation, permits and gas metering and pressure-reducing units.

- You get rid of gas prepayments

- Save on drying costs — from 20 UAH per ton-percent compared with gas, and several times less than elevator drying services (see the table below).

Drying cost per 1 ton-percent of moisture removed (average industry estimates, 2026 prices):

Drying methodEstimated cost
Elevator or third-party drying serviceabout 150 UAH
Own dryer on natural gas55–70 UAH
Own dryer on propane-butane (LPG)60–75 UAH
Own dryer on agro-pellets35–55 UAH
Own dryer on your own agricultural waste3–5 UAH

1 ton-percent = removing 1% moisture from 1 tonne of grain. Example: drying corn from 24% to 14% is 10 ton-percents: about 1,500 UAH/t at an elevator versus about 30–50 UAH/t on your own waste. Actual cost depends on fuel price, crop and moisture.

-    

- you get a turnkey working complex and immediately receive profit

- payback within one season with the dryer running 2 months in round-the-clock mode

- a guarantee of 2 years on all units

- service (warranty and post-warranty)

- Mobility . The dryer can be relocated.

- Drying with clean air. Air is supplied to the dryer through a heat exchanger .

- Durability . Heat generators with a heat exchanger made of stainless steel grade 310S.

- Efficiency . The furnace and heat exchanger of the heat generator are in one housing. No heat loss.

- Dry in heating and cooling mode. At unloading you get cooled grain.

- You become our next satisfied customer and recommend us to your friends and colleagues.
