Mecmar complete testing of the new F 60 batch grain drier

Mecmar recently completed testing the new F 60 batch grain drier. This drier is at the forefront of the movement towards high capacity continuous batch grain drying systems. The F 60 has been designed in response to greater demand for size options in large capacity batch grain driers. An automated F 60 drier offers hourly outputs comparable to continuous flow grain driers at a reduced level of capital investment while also retaining the benefits associated with recirculating batch grain driers.

The F 60 has a batch capacity of 60 tonnes (based on wheat at 20% mc and 74 kg/hal).  The model pictured is PTO driven with a Riello industrial oil burner. It incorporates Mecmar’s standard specification including Continue reading

Mobile batch grain drier automation, the big issue at RHS 2010

We have just returned from exhibiting at the Royal Highland Show and as always it was a fantastic event. I think it must be the leading agricultural show in the UK, fully encompassing all aspects of rural life. For the exhibitor, the Royal Highland Showground is an absolute luxury, especially after the mayhem of Cereals this year (why they insist on having such a significant event in a field while Stoneleigh sits empty is beyond me).

However, at the RHS this year we exhibited an 18 tonne electric, automatic, mobile batch grain drier. This season has seen a continuing trend Continue reading

The Mecmar Grain Drier Manufacturer

In the 1960s Mecmar took its first steps in the Italian farming industry. They went on to produce their first batch grain driers in 1982. The first Mecmar grain drier was sold in the UK in 1984. Since then Mecmar has gone from strength to strength in the global grain drier market.

The factory is highly innovative and constantly developing the machine, as the old brochure covers below show, the design of the Mecmar grain drier has been evolving and improving over the last 25 years maximising performance, reliability and durability.

The Mecmar factory is located near Verona, Italy. The entire process, from design through manufacture to final assembly, takes place on this site. In the last year the factory has more than doubled its capacity and rationalised the manufacturing process, resulting in quicker production and an increased level of quality control.

Mecmar is an engineering company that has developed grain driers through years of working closely with farmers. The process of listening to user requirements, inviting opinion and acting upon feedback means Mecmar has emerged as the leading mobile batch grain drier.
