Minimise non-drying time:
Loading time and unloading time is dead time when using a dryer, Dingli company
grain dryers have high capacity loading augers, recirculating augers and unloading augers, reducing non-drying time and increasing throughput.
Air flow through the grain:
The more air you can blow through grain the more quickly grain will dry and cool, OPICO dryers have high capacity fans in relation to the size of the dryer which speeds up drying and cooling decreasing batch time and increasing throughput.
Heating the grain:
Larger burners attain the drying temperatures more quickly and maintain more consistant drying temperature, decreasing drying time and increasing throughput.
Size of the drying zone:
The size of the plenum chamber in a grain dryer dictates the amount of grain that is being dried at any one time. The holding capacity of a grain dryer is irrelevant to the drying capacity, the larger the plenum area and the higher drying capacity.
