But what is it specifically? <strong>Grain<\/strong> <strong>storage<\/strong> makes it possible to <strong>&#8220;park&#8221; the crop between one processing operation and the next<\/strong>, whether it is for drying or roasting the grain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What <strong>technologies<\/strong> currently exist for <strong>storing<\/strong> <strong>cereals<\/strong>? Each has different <strong>advantages<\/strong> and <strong>disadvantages<\/strong> in terms of <strong>cost<\/strong>, <strong>convenience<\/strong> and quality of grain <strong>preservation<\/strong>, but the main ones include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Storage in warehouses or sheds<\/strong>, which is the most traditional type of storage. In fact, sheds are used to <strong>park<\/strong> <strong>machinery<\/strong> and, depending on the season, <strong>also<\/strong> <strong>the<\/strong> <strong>harvest<\/strong>. This solution provides <strong>flexibility of<\/strong> <strong>use<\/strong> but, at the same time, <strong>less<\/strong> <strong>control<\/strong> <strong>over the<\/strong> <strong>storage<\/strong> <strong>atmosphere<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Solo bag storage<\/strong>: an <strong>economic<\/strong> <strong>solution<\/strong> but at the same time flexible, as it allows grain to be stored in open but sheltered areas.

Although expensive, storing cereals in silos <strong>keeps<\/strong> <strong>the crop clean<\/strong> at all times while maintaining a <strong>high<\/strong> <strong>level<\/strong> <strong>of<\/strong> <strong>quality<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you are curious to <strong>know in detail how to achieve optimal storage of your cereals<\/strong> thanks to the use of 100% Made in Italy dryers, continue reading the article!<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">When is the ideal time to buy a dryer that guarantees optimal grain storage?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Given the <strong>instability of the market<\/strong> and the increasingly <strong>fluctuating<\/strong> <strong>prices of raw materials<\/strong>, buying a drying plant now is the <strong>best investment your company can make<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Why is buying a dryer a <strong>safe investment<\/strong>? Firstly, the <strong>return on investment<\/strong> <strong>has fallen from 3-5 years to 1-3 years<\/strong>. In addition, thanks to an efficient and streamlined internal organization, <strong>Mecmar is able to honor its commitments<\/strong>, delivering the equipment on <strong>time<\/strong> and at a <strong>competitive<\/strong> <strong>cost<\/strong>, well before the drying season begins.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Why sell off your harvest when you can increase your profit by drying and storing it?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are two <strong>main<\/strong> <strong>reasons<\/strong> why <strong>proper<\/strong> <strong>drying<\/strong> of cereals is essential:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>You do not risk drastically reducing the quality of the grain<\/strong> (and therefore also its price) and, in extreme cases, making it unusable;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Make your farm independent<\/strong> as far as the storage of cereals is concerned, so that you can store your harvest until you consider its selling price appropriate. It is well known that at harvest time the price of grain tends to fall due to high market supply. Proper storage and selling at times of high market demand will allow you to generate more profit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, when drying, <strong>attention must be paid to certain aspects<\/strong> &#8211; such as the <strong>degree of ripeness<\/strong> of the grain and its <strong>moisture<\/strong> <strong>level<\/strong> &#8211; which play a crucial role in the proper storage of the grain. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mecmargroup.com\/en\/news\/how_do_you_remove_moisture_from_grains_here_the_best_way-52\">How do you remove moisture from grains?<\/a> <strong>Here is the most effective way<\/strong>. We explain it in this article!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first step in ensuring optimal grain storage concerns the <strong>condition of the grain at harvest time<\/strong>. Compared with quality grain, an immature grain &#8211; i.e. with a lower test weight &#8211; is not as likely to be stored in the long term. In order to prevent this risk, it is wise to <strong>choose the type of grain you choose to sow carefully<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once harvested, the grain goes through the <strong>drying process<\/strong>, which helps to <strong>prevent the spread of fungi, mould and bacteria<\/strong> that can alter the value of the grain. By subjecting the grain to the drying process, it is possible to <strong>expel the carbon dioxide that risks suffocating it<\/strong>. In addition to this, as the grain dries, the temperature of the grain increases and, as a result, the <strong>percentage of water contained in the grain lowers<\/strong>: so you ensure maximum crop safety.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When <strong>combined<\/strong> with <strong>proper cleaning<\/strong> of the grain, <strong>drying<\/strong> will make your <strong>harvest<\/strong> more <strong>fragrant<\/strong> and, above all, more <strong>profitable<\/strong>. To ensure <strong>high<\/strong> <strong>productivity<\/strong> on your farm, we recommend that you consider purchasing a dryer in advance. Faced with a significant <strong>rise in raw material prices<\/strong> and the current global <strong>uncertainties<\/strong>, many farms may find themselves unprepared. So as not to risk your farm being one of them and still needing a <strong>solution for <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mecmargroup.com\/en\/news\/5_advantages_of_grain_drying_you_need_to_consider_for_your_farm-39\"><strong>drying cereals<\/strong><\/a>, you can opt for the purchase of a <strong>Mecmar<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mecmargroup.com\/en\/catalogo\/mobile_dryers-2\"><strong>mobile<\/strong><\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mecmargroup.com\/en\/catalogo\/tower_dryers-1\"><strong>tower\u00a0dryer<\/strong><\/a> that allows <strong>high-level drying for many years while keeping the cereal clean<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Improve the quality of your harvest with Mecmar roasters: here&#8217;s how<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the face of <strong>changing market dynamics<\/strong>, doing your <strong>own <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mecmargroup.com\/en\/news\/benefits_of_grain_roasting_why_is_it_important-64\"><strong>grain roasting<\/strong><\/a> can really benefit your farm.

Then carefully evaluate the <strong>size<\/strong> of the machine and the <strong>type<\/strong> <strong>of<\/strong> <strong>fuel<\/strong> used, depending on your needs and budget.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Why should you <strong>consider buying a grain drying and roasting plant now<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">The socio-economic <strong>future<\/strong> is increasingly <strong>uncertain<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>cost<\/strong> of <strong>raw<\/strong> <strong>materials<\/strong> is <strong>set<\/strong> <strong>to<\/strong> <strong>rise<\/strong>, which will also increase the price of finished products.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Buying a grain dryer and\/or roaster for grain processing is worthwhile because it is a <strong>safe<\/strong> <strong>investment<\/strong> (for you and future generations) that can be <strong>recovered in a short time<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Finally, a slow drying process <strong>ensures that your business can store grain properly<\/strong>, even in the long term.
