What is the most important challenge<\/strong> facing modern agriculture? Making the best use of the resources the earth has to offer<\/strong>, thanks to the use of cutting-edge, high-performance technological solutions, with a view to efficiency and sustainability.<\/p>\n

The way we feed ourselves<\/strong> and the food we consume on a daily basis continues to change<\/strong>. In particular, droughts and floods have a strong impact on cereal crops such as rice, maize and wheat. However, since the last few decades, the use of genetically modified<\/strong> (GM) crops has made it possible to minimize the impact that climate change has on the environmental ecosystem<\/strong>, while promoting economic progress in more than 20 countries.<\/p>\n

Let’s see in this article how dryers can contribute to a better and more sustainable management of your crop<\/strong>, thus overcoming the uncertainty generated by climate change!<\/p>\n

Lessen the negative consequences of climate change with an organic grain dryer<\/span><\/h3>\n

It was confirmed at Glasgow COP26<\/strong>: the climate will continue to change with devastating effects even if emissions are reduced. Mecmar’s organic grain dryers<\/strong> are one of the first resilience tools<\/strong> that enable farmers and local populations to prevent and defend themselves from crop losses and flood damage, thus safeguarding communities and natural habitats.<\/p>\n

Organic grain dryers meet the demands of vulnerable countries, communities in Asia and Africa that need more resilient facilities<\/strong>. Mecmar dryers are mobile and compact: the ideal solution for small-scale farmers.<\/p>\n

Below are some of the advantages<\/strong> that your farm can also enjoy by adopting a Mecmar organic grain dryer:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Secure your harvest<\/strong> and the value you achieve at all stages, from sowing to harvesting.<\/li>\n
  2. Eliminate aflatoxins<\/strong>, which devalue the cereal and make it harmful.<\/li>\n
  3. Dried and cleaned cereal has a higher commercial<\/strong> value in the market.<\/li>\n
  4. Drying time is greatly reduced<\/strong>: as it is no longer manual, it no longer takes several days but a few hours. This also makes it possible to anticipate the sowing of the next harvest.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For this reason, many companies – especially those operating in the agricultural sector – have realised the urgency of adopting green technologies and solutions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    For some years now, the digital technologies<\/strong> integrated<\/strong> into Mecmar’s organic dryers have also allowed remote<\/strong> control<\/strong> and monitoring<\/strong> from<\/strong> smartphones<\/strong>, opening the doors to digital agriculture, with all its advantages.<\/p>\n

    How do Mecmar’s<\/strong> organic cereal<\/strong> dryers<\/strong> work and why should your production company consider buying<\/strong> them<\/strong>? To get the best out of your cereals, in terms of yield, production and market value<\/strong>, you need<\/strong> to treat<\/strong> them in the best possible way throughout the supply chain.<\/p>\n

    In addition to this, dryers are fundamental tools for stimulating the production<\/strong> of<\/strong> local<\/strong>, GMO-free resources. The biological line we have developed makes it possible to dry products with extreme delicacy, combining the technological<\/strong> aspect<\/strong> with modern biofuel combustion<\/strong> systems<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    An organic line for drying your cereals: what makes Mecmar’s solution different?<\/h3>\n

    For optimum<\/strong> crop<\/strong> drying<\/strong>, Mecmar manufactures dryers for organic cereals which, thanks to the installation of an innovative<\/strong> heat<\/strong> exchanger<\/strong>, guarantee high processing performance of the raw material, while fully respecting the organoleptic characteristics of the grain.<\/p>\n

    In order to preserve<\/strong> the integrity<\/strong> of<\/strong> the<\/strong> cereals<\/strong> undergoing the drying process, Mecmar offers solutions such as mobile dryers<\/strong><\/a> and tower dryers<\/strong><\/a>, equipped with a special heat exchanger, capable of ensuring low fuel consumption and homogeneity<\/strong> of<\/strong> the<\/strong> dried<\/strong> product<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    To ensure that your company too can adapt to the criteria of organic production<\/strong>, Mecmar installs this type of exchanger – known as a tube bundle – inside the drying plants to ensure that the processed product<\/strong> is cleaned<\/strong> of all external impurities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Thanks to this special exchanger, the combustion air of the fuel and the drying air are kept separate<\/strong>. In this way, the air used to dry the grain remains clean, while the combustion fumes are channeled to the outside, never coming into contact with the grain to be processed.<\/p>\n

    This new biomass combustion technology<\/strong> will allow your company to eliminate the use of traditional fuels, such as diesel or methane, and all their derivatives, in favour of reduced atmospheric<\/strong> emissions<\/strong> and low<\/strong> heavy<\/strong> residues<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    The advantages<\/strong> of these solutions are therefore numerous. To summarize:<\/p>\n
