Earlier this week Mecmar attended the UK Grain 2011 exhibition at the East of England Showground at Peterborough. The event was a good opportunity to showcase our latest improvements to our range of mobile grain driers. It was also an opportunity for Farmers Weekly to have a chat with Stewart regarding the latest tweaks to our automatic systems.

Below is the short article produced by Farmers Weekly, look out for it in one of the upcoming issues.

“One of the biggest trends in mobile driers has been the move to automated control system that mean they can largely be left on their own to get on with the job. However farmers often want to still retain some ability to make changes even when an automatic system is working. 

“Italian-made Mecmar mobile driers, for instance, now allow users to switch batches in mid cycle. It also has a facility to automatically top up the grain level by a tonne or two when it has dropped as result of shrinkage of the grain as the moisture is taken out.

“A third option, also possible even when the machine is in full auto, is to re-employ a burner to give extra heat.

“This SSI 25 T PTO powered model is a popular size, says Stewart McArthur from Mecmar UK, “as are the D 18 T and S 35 T versions.”
