Grain Processing
Astra Grain Dryer
The record efficiency of tower-type Grain Dryer, “ASTRA” Model, being a joint product of “MELINVEST” OJSC, Russia and “QED DRYER SALES AND MANUFACTURING INC”, USA, is achieved due to the innovative placement of the burner inside the dryer’s body. Multiple use of heated air (recuperation) minimizes heat losses, whereas the dryer’s efficiency factor reaches its maximum value.
This construction is recognized as one of the most efficient in the world. Apart from fuel savings, tower-type Grain Dryer, “ASTRA” Model, ensures high quality of the commodity and seed grain.
The Grain Dryer can operate on natural gas, condensed gas (LPG) & diesel fuel. ASTRA Grain Dryer is a Module Type dryer which allows to increase the drying capacity from 20 t/h to 80 t/h by just adding more modules to the working module.
Features
- Tower-type Grain Dryer is ideal for drying maize, corn, wheat, rye, barley, rice, oleaginous and bean cultures, as well as seed grain
- Drying technology incorporates heating, drying and cooling zones.
- The dryer’s body is made of anticorrosion materials (galvanized steel, aluminum), the factor extending immensely the operation life of the dryer.
- Grain Exchanger prevents the product from overheating and insures the drying uniformity.
- The Dryer’s self-cleaning system allows to maintain the stated capacity of the dryer throughout the whole operating period.
Vesta Grain Dryer
Shaft-type Grain Dryer, “VESTA” Model, is a perfect dryer to dry all types of cereals, beans and oil-bearing crops.
Strictly set heating & cooling regimes and use of calculated air volume allow to maintain the perfect drying technology. The polymeric lining of the bearing elements protects grain from stress & crash.
Delicate drying regimes allow using VESTA Grain Dryers for drying seed grain.
High cost efficiency is achieved due to the dryer’s unique construction design, that allows using heating energy and the sections’ working volume to the highest possible efficiency.
This grain dryer can operate on natural gas, condensed gas (LPG) & diesel fuel.
These dryers have high efficiency which may still be increased by additional thermal insulation.
Features
- Air heater: Combustion chamber is made of heat-resisting stainless steel. The unique structure ensures high efficiency
- Fans: Fans productivity ensures the necessary air volume for removing the set percent of moisture content
- Burner: Burning mode is maintained mechanically. The temperature in heating and cooling areas is set from the control panel with the accuracy up to 1 degrees celsius
- Air ducts: Tapered section eliminates formation of stagnation zones and improves the dryer fire safety.
- Control panel: The panel is provided with a pictogram and built-in protection functions; ensures manual and automated operation.
- Pneumatic separator with a spreading mechanism: Cleans grain of light impurities and evenly distributes it throughout the shaft, excluding the product self-sorting and increasing grain drying efficiency.
