Recently, the use of liquefied gas as an energy carrier for grain dryers has become increasingly popular. This can be explained by its stable cost and lack of shortage. But
grain dryers on propane have many other advantages.
The use of solid fuel as an energy carrier for grain dryers does not always justify itself. After all, it needs to be harvested or produced, transported and have appropriate conditions for storage. It requires a lot of investment. That is why grain dryers on propane are an economically advantageous option of equipment.
Advantages of grain dryers on propane:
economy - propane is twice as cheap as diesel;
high level of heat transfer, therefore, high efficiency;
no heat exchanger is needed to heat the air;
independence from gas pressure changes in pipes;
propane price stability;
autonomy of construction of a gas supply installation;
low electricity consumption;
minimal equipment maintenance costs;
safety and reliability of operation;
a minimum of harmful emissions into the air.
Modern "Agro Star" grain dryers are designed for drying grain of various food, seed and fodder crops of any degree of moisture. The use of continuous (flow) grain drying technology ensures high productivity of the grain dryer with relatively small overall dimensions and high quality of the final product.
The principle of
operation of the grain dryer "Agro Star" is simple and reliable, which is confirmed as follows:
grain is fed into the upper part of the dryer, where it is gradually and evenly distributed along its entire length with the help of an auger. After filling with grain, the auger automatically stops and turns on depending on the speed of grain passage through the dryer. Heated air under the pressure of the fan passes through a uniform layer of grain, heats it and removes moisture to the outside through the perforated walls of the sections. A fan in the lower chamber of the dryer is used to cool the grain to storage temperature. The amount of grain passing through the dryer (productivity) depends on its initial moisture and the selected drying mode and is regulated by the speed of rotation of the metering rollers placed below the grain sections along the entire length of the dryer on both sides. After the roller, the dried grain falls on the lower auger of the dryer and is transported further for cooling, cleaning or storage.
The main design advantages of "Agro Star" grain dryers.
The special form of perforation made of AISI 430 stainless steel allows drying of any crop without replacing the sieves and losing the productivity of the grain dryer.

The multi-zone system of air supply to the chambers increases the productivity of the dryer and allows you to smoothly adjust the temperature in each chamber, which positively affects the quality of the grain.
The body of the grain dryer is made of galvanized steel of the S 350 GD brand, and the bolt connections are made of galvanized metal products of strength class 8.8, which provides long-term protection against corrosion and reliable connection of all parts of the grain dryer.
The intelligent grain unloading system prevents its damage.
Grain inverters between modules (2,3 module models) create a cross movement of grain when it passes from the upper module to the lower one and ensure high uniformity of drying.
The durability of the augers with significant amounts of drying is achieved due to the use of turns made of abrasion-resistant steel.
Thanks to the complex steel construction of the dosing rollers, their resistance to deformation increases when unwanted foreign objects hit them.
The use of European pulleys and bearings ensures trouble-free operation of the drive units of the dryer.
The presence of a large number of handrails, handrails and
ladders allows convenient and safe inspection and maintenance of all parts of the dryer.
The industrial controller and start-up protection equipment produced by Schneider Electris ensure control and reliable operation of all dryer components and minimize the human factor in the operation of the equipment.
The modern touch panel of the control panel allows you to remotely enter and monitor operating parameters such as: air temperature in the dryer chamber, grain temperature, burner operation parameters, operation of loading and unloading systems, security system messages.
A large selection of models and configurations of grain dryers allows you to choose the optimal solution for any enterprise.
