English

Subject field(s)
  • Crop Storage Facilities
  • Grain Growing
  • Agricultural Economics
CONT

Heated air grain drying. Whenever aeration or natural air drying fails to adequately condition grain for storage, a heated air dryer may be incorporated into the harvesting storage system. Compared to natural air drying, the heated air drying absorbs more moisture from the grain thus drying the grain faster.

OBS

heated air drying: Term used at the Canadian Grain Commission.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Grain Growing
  • Milling and Cereal Industries
CONT

The main storage bins are usually hoppered and an automatic conveying system moves the grain to intermediate storage bins from which different grades are blended into the milling grist. The main storage bins are arranged to feed back into the intake elevator to provide for turning over the grain from one bin to another. This turning over is sometimes necessary to keep the grain in sound condition. Provision is also made for drying grain. A separate conveying system is used to move grain through the automatic dryer and back to the dried-grain bins and the main storage block.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Culture des céréales
  • Minoterie et céréales
CONT

Les cellules de stockage principales sont équipées d'un dispositif permettant de transvaser le grain jusqu'à l'élévateur de réception et d'assurer son passage d'une cellule à l'autre. Cette opération de retournement s'impose parfois pour conserver le grain en bon état. Le silo est généralement équipé d'un séchoir alimenté par un système séparé de transporteur qui y amène le grain humide puis le ramène aux cellules à grain sec du silo principal.

OBS

Todo el grano almacenado, debe ser volteado ocasionalmente y con tanta mayor frecuencia cuanto más cerca del límite de seguridad se encuentra el contenido de humedad, o si empieza a elevarse la temperatura del grano. El grano seco se puede almacenar en recipientes herméticos. La respiración agota el oxígeno del aire intergranular y detiene eficazmente la actividad de insectos y hongos.

Record 4 2007-05-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Drying Techniques (Farming)
CONT

The batch-in-bin drying process involves using a bin as a batch dryer. A 3 to 4-foot deep layer of grain is placed in the bin and the fan and heater started. Typical drying air temperatures are 120 to 160F with airflow rates of 8 to 15 cfm/bushel. Drying begins at the floor and progresses upward. Grain at the floor of the bin becomes excessively dry while the top layer of the batch remains fairly wet. The grain is cooled in the bin after it is dried. Some batch-in-bin dryers hold the grain being dried in a layer near the roof. After the grain is dried it is dropped to the bin floor where it is cooled. As the grain is moved from the bin, the grain is mixed, and the average moisture content going into final storage should be low enough that mold growth will not be a problem.
