Several trends have emerged in the grain drying industry this harvest. I will take the next few posts to reflect on these. These reflections offer an opportunity to take stock in anticipation of the rapidly approaching UK Grain exhibition in November. The most notable trend is the continued rise in popularity of using Mecmar mobile grain driers in an automated, continuous batch grain drying system. We briefly summarised this in a piece of editorial recently written for a UK Grain event supplement.

This season has seen further growth in the use of Mecmar grain driers in continuous batch drying systems. The Mecmar’s performance, reliability and durability makes it highly suited to being at the centre of high-output, automated grain drying installations.

Mecmar automation options make it possible to run continuous batches and feature a range of additional functions. The drier is also capable of controlling grain handling equipment required to fill and empty.

There is a compelling economic case for installing a Mecmar drier in this way. It is based on relatively low capital costs and the high resale value of Mecmar grain driers. Couple to this the ability to dry down from very high moisture levels in one pass, the Mecmar continuous batch system presents an economical and robust grain drying option.

Furthermore, Mecmar now provide a turnkey service for fully integrating handling systems with the grain drier.
