HEAT RECOVERY

Continuous cycle dryers with heat recovery

The continuous cycle dryers in Mecmar’s MC series are designed to provide high-efficiency and productivity solutions for the grain drying process.

These advanced machines are capable of handling large volumes of product, ensuring excellent quality of the processed grain. Operation is simple and automated: the grain is loaded into the top of the drying column until the reserve section is fully filled. From here, the product begins to descend through the column, where an optimized airflow system continuously and evenly removes moisture. This process ensures uniform drying, minimizing quality loss in the grain.

The drying column is structured to use hot air in the upper section, effectively reducing the grain’s moisture, and cold air in the lower section, bringing the product back to ideal conditions of temperature and humidity for storage or further processing. The system is further optimized by the use of a pulsed pneumatic extractor, ensuring a continuous flow of product from the reserve to the discharge hopper.

Controlled via a next-generation PLC, the MC series dryers allow complete process control, with the option for both automatic and manual operation. With remote access via smartphone, operators can monitor and manage dryer operations remotely, ensuring flexible and highly efficient management.

Serie

Le nostre Serie

La serie MC si distingue per la sua capacità di gestire grandi volumi, permettendo di essiccare da 200 fino a 2.000 tonnellate di cereali al giorno. Ideale per chi cerca alte prestazioni e produttività, questa serie si basa su un sistema a ciclo continuo che garantisce un flusso costante di prodotto, riducendo al minimo i tempi di fermo macchina.

Per chi già conosce i nostri essiccatoi a torre, come quelli delle serie RT, RM e RG, la serie MC rappresenta un’evoluzione significativa. Grazie al sistema a ciclo continuo e al recupero del raffreddamento, l’aria fredda attraversa il cereale nella fase finale del processo, garantendo un raffreddamento uniforme e immediato prima dello scarico. Questo consente di ottimizzare l’efficienza energetica e di preservare la qualità del prodotto.

How

How it works

Grain loading

Drying

Recirculation

Discharge

The grain is loaded into the top of the drying column until the reserve section is fully filled. From here, the grain begins to descend while an optimized airflow continuously and uniformly removes moisture.

The airflow is designed to ensure uniform drying and expel the more humid air that has passed through the upper part of the column. At the same time, cooling air and part of the less humid warm air used for final drying are recovered, thus minimizing fuel consumption.

The control system is developed to automatically or manually regulate the amount of product discharged at the base via a pulsed pneumatic extractor.
