In my previous post I discussed the return on investment offered by on-farm grain 
drying. Essentially, the longer the machine operates effectively the greater the financial returns. Whilst longevity depends on many things including correct operation and regular maintenance, it is most significantly influenced by the quality of the design and engineering. Mecmar have identified the need for extensive galvanising to lengthen the operational life of its grain driers as a basic engineering requirement.
Hot dip galvanising is the process of coating steel with a thin layer of zinc. This is achieved by passing the metal through a molten bath of zinc at a temperature of around 460°C. When exposed to the atmosphere the pure zinc reacts with oxygen, forming Continue reading ‘Galvanising ensures Mecmar grain driers are built to last’
Below is a short piece of editorial for an upcoming 
All over the UK farms are well into harvest and many, especially in the south, are entering the crucial post-harvest phase. Grain drying, cooling and storage systems are in full swing, ensuring crops are in optimum condition before delivery. Now, more than at any other point in the year, farmers are very aware of the capability of their systems. At this point we believe it is crucial to evaluate your grain drying and a storage requirement as the existing system is put through its paces.
