High-efficiency drying devices are designed to optimize drying speed and yield. They are also manufactured for a long lifespan and low maintenance costs.
Propane grain dryers limit fungi and bacterial growth. Burning extremely cleanly, the dryers never contaminate grains during the drying operation. With propane’s energy efficiency, relatively low and stable price, portability, environmental safety and reliability, it is a vital and economical energy for grain drying.
Propane can also be used to dry oilseeds, sunflowers, nuts, vegetables or fruits to increase yields and reduce storage losses. Dehydration reduces moisture content without damaging food products. It helps to obtain better prices for crops that must meet certain moisture content criteria.
