A mechanical device which is used to remove excessive moisture from harvested grain usually by forcing unheated air through the grain. 1, record 1, English, - grain%20dryer
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Heat applied to grain during drying causes moisture inside the kernel to move to the surface where it is evaporated into the surrounding air, thus reducing moisture content in the kernel. Two basic types of grain driers have traditionally been used in terminals : the rack drier and the column drier. As well, new types such as concurrent, counterflow, and the microwave, have recently been introduced to the industry. 3, record 1, English, - grain%20dryer

Matériel indépendant permettant d'abaisser rapidement la teneur en eau d'une masse de grains - trop humide pour qu'une simple ventilation séchante suffise - par l'action d'un fort courant d'air relativement chaud, la source de chaleur étant un brûleur. 2, record 1, French, - s%C3%A9choir%20%C3%A0%20c%C3%A9r%C3%A9ales

Quand le grain est chauffé pendant le séchage, l'humidité qu'il renferme se déplace vers l'enveloppe d'où elle s'évapore. Les silos utilisent traditionnellement deux principaux types de séchoirs : le séchoir à chicanes et le séchoir à colonne. En outre, de nouveaux types de séchoirs, à circulation parallèle directe, à circulation parallèle inverse et à micro-ondes, ont récemment fait leur apparition. 3, record 1, French, - s%C3%A9choir%20%C3%A0%20c%C3%A9r%C3%A9ales

Los granos oleaginosos, tienen que ser almacenados a humedades aún menores, 10 a 11%, y todavía más bajas, como en el caso de la calza. Así para conseguir la humedad adecuada del grano se utilizan las secadoras de granos. Al empezar la temporada la secadora debe estar lista para trabajar. Esto significa en primer lugar la limpieza total de la torre de secado. Si no se hiciera así, no sería difícil que se observaran bajos rendimientos de la máquina, debido a menores cantidades de agua evaporadas en el aire usado. 1, record 1, Spanish, - secadora%20de%20granos

Other methods of paper drying(besides steam cylinder drying) are used for certain applications.... Microwave or dielectric drying would appear to have application at the dry end of the machine. Free water(as opposed to bound water) preferentially absorbs the microwave energy to provide self-compensating profile correction.... However, this technique has not caught on, perhaps because the economics are not favorable. 1, record 2, English, - microwave%20drying

On utilise bien d'autres techniques de séchage du papier (en plus du séchage sur cylindres) pour des applications particulières. [...] Le séchage par micro-ondes ou diélectrique s'applique en fin de machine en particulier pour régler les problèmes endémiques de profils irréguliers. L'eau libre (par opposition à l'eau liée) absorbe préférentiellement l'énergie des micro-ondes, ce qui corrige automatiquement le profil [...] 1, record 2, French, - s%C3%A9chage%20par%20micro%2Dondes
