Our client was facing a significant challenge<\/strong>: overcoming the limitations of an old drying system that compromised the quality of the harvest and had rather high fuel consumption.<\/p>\n The solution? Installing the Mecmar D24\/175 T2 mobile dryer, designed to ensure efficiency and precision in grain processing \u2014 with a particular focus on rice.<\/p>\n This model, equipped with an auger and powered by a tractor, proved to be perfect for the farming company: it combines flexibility, high performance, and reliability even under the most challenging working conditions.<\/p>\n Rice drying is a delicate process that demands precision and control to ensure the highest quality of the final product. Rice, being particularly sensitive to residual moisture<\/strong>, requires meticulous care during treatment to prevent the formation of mold and the loss of germination capacity.<\/p>\n The Mecmar D24\/175 T2 dryer is equipped with an advanced air control system<\/strong> that precisely regulates temperature and humidity through an intuitive interface, which can also be accessed remotely via smartphone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The ability to quickly adjust settings based on weather conditions or the quality of the incoming rice ensures that drying always takes place under optimal conditions.<\/p>\n The drying temperature<\/strong> is set directly on the dryer\u2019s control panel according to the type of rice being dried and the shape of the grain. For Carnaroli or other round-grain rice varieties, a drying temperature of around 45\u00b0C is usually used.<\/p>\n These types of rice are much more delicate compared to long-grain varieties like Indica, where the drying temperature can reach up to 60\u00b0C. We explored the proper rice drying process in more detail in this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nWhy rice drying requires special care<\/h2>\n
\nThis aspect is crucial to maintaining the integrity of the rice, which is often compromised by overly harsh treatments that make the grains too fragile, increasing the risk of cracking and breakage. This results in more defects and negatively affects the selling price.<\/p>\n
