Mecmar Refurbishment – Recent Projects

Published on August 8, 2011 in Who are Mecmar. 0 Comments Tags: , , , .
Recent years have seen an increasing interest in high quality secondhand grain driers. To meet this demand we started to extensively refurbish Mecmar grain driers. Using the experience of working on new grain driers we are able to undertake highly challenging refurbishment projects. The high standard of our refurbished driers means they carry the same warranty as a brand new Mecmar grain drier.

Build quality has always been the principal area of focus for Mecmar grain driers making them particularly suitable for refurbishment. The robust chassis design, highly specified wearing parts and inox stainless steel screens are just a few of the factors that contribute to the Mecmar driers durability. Since the 1990s Mecmar drier’s have been designed to be increasingly modular making on farm maintenance of the drier simpler, while also allowing thorough refurbishment to be undertaken.

The harvest rush on second hand mobile batch grain driers

Published on August 23, 2010 in Buying a grain drier, Drying Advice and Manufacturer. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , .
Harvest 2010 is looking a bit gloomy at the moment, the weather forecast continues to look unpromising and 75% of UK wheat is still standing in the fields. However, the prospect that wheat prices may remain bullish in the short term is a welcome distraction (especially if Ukraine impose export quotas this week). Unfavourable weather conditions do not only cause panic buying on the international wheat market but they also cause panic buying on the (slightly smaller but no less important) UK second hand grain drier market.

This combination of dreary weather forecasts and crops standing in the field drive hurried enquiries for second hand grain driers, the sole criteria being Continue reading ‘The harvest rush on second hand mobile batch grain driers’

Mecmar Grain Driers in Britain and Ireland

Published on June 13, 2010 in Introduction and Who are Mecmar. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , , .
Mecmar Driers (2000) Ltd. was created by Stewart McArthur in 1999 and is the sole importer of Mecmar grain driers in the UK. At the time Mecmar had a small presence in Britain, however,  the machine was highly regarded by those farmers who used them and had already developed a reputation for strong performance, reliability and durability.

Over the last 10 years Mecmar has grown steadily to become the leading mobile grain drier in Britain and Ireland. This development was due to the outstanding quality of the Mecmar machine supported by clear thinking and straight talking. Mecmar Driers (2000) Ltd. is a farm owned company, we do not only sell the machines but we also use them. This gives us a clear insight into the important considerations for existing and prospective customers. It is the basis for much of our technical and practical expertise.

Mecmar Driers (2000) Ltd. maintain a very strong working relationship with our manufacturer Mecmar S.p.A., you will even see the Managing Director, Giovanni Marcolongo, posting on this blog in due course. This relationship ensures that Mecmar driers are constantly improving based on the feedback of farmers from all over Britain and Ireland. The unique relationship with our manufacturer allows us to offer unparalleled flexibility when it comes to specifying Mecmar grain driers for customers. This constant process of farmer engagement and innovation ensures Mecmar will remain the leading mobile grain drier on the market.

Selecting the right capacity mobile grain drier

Published on June 12, 2010 in Buying a grain drier and Press. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , .
An article in the June 2010 Farmers Guide addressed the key consideration for selecting the capacity of a mobile grain drier. Stewart discussed with the Farmers Guide the importance of distinguishing batch capacity from drier output. At Mecmar we advise farmers to compare grain driers on output (e.g. tonnes/hour) not simply on the batch capacity. Due to differing levels of performance and durability grain driers cannot be compared by capacity alone. 

The article was as follows:

When studying the batch drier market, many prospective customers tend to make the very reasonable assumption that all driers of a given batch capacity have the same output. This is not the case.

Different manufacturers have their own design, manufacturing and marketing philosophies, which vary widely, resulting in products that are far from being the same.  Not only does output between a given batch size vary, but also driers of different manufacture have varying build and construction features, which can directly affect the durability and life of the machine and its ability to work in extreme conditions.

Construction is also important to long term maintenance. Has long term maintenance been considered in the design and construction of the machine you are looking at?

A grain drier is a capital investment, which may well be with you for 10-20 years. It must be worthwhile to look carefully at the key areas that affect output.

Remember, size is not everything.
