Cereals, in fact, need to be subjected to a removal process of the excess moisture to prevent <strong>fermentation and degenerative phenomena<\/strong> that can compromise their proper storage.<\/p>\n<p>Choosing the drying system that best suits the <strong>needs<\/strong> of your business will allow you not only to <strong>reduce waste<\/strong>, but also to <strong>improve the overall productivity<\/strong> of your company. With this in mind, a <strong>continuous dryer<\/strong> can be the ideal solution for drying any type of cereal. Within this article, <strong>Mecmar <\/strong>will illustrate their main features and how they work.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_choose_a_continuous_dryer\"><\/span>When to choose a continuous dryer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>decision <\/strong>to adopt a continuous flow dryer must certainly be preceded by <strong>careful and accurate evaluations and planning.<\/strong> These drying systems, in fact, require <strong>precise management<\/strong>, as well as a <strong>continuous supply of moist grains<\/strong>, at a constant speed.<\/p>\n<p>Precisely for this reason, continuous dryers are suitable for <strong>large farms<\/strong>: by managing large volumes of cereals to be dried, these companies are able to supply the machine with the product that needs to be processed <strong>without interruption<\/strong>, unlike small companies that can hardly guarantee a continuous supply 24\/7 to the dryer.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image image-style-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/old_news\/P1020717.JPG\" \/><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_characteristics_of_a_continuous_dryer\"><\/span>What are the characteristics of a continuous dryer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Regardless of whether your <strong>company i<\/strong>s small, medium or large, it is first of all essential to evaluate what are the <strong>needs<\/strong> that distinguish it: what type of raw material is necessary to dry? Which destination will the processed cereals have?<\/p>\n<p>By defining the needs of your company you will also be able to understand <strong>which type of system<\/strong> is best for you. In most cases, the general rule applies that <strong>the larger the machine<\/strong> chosen, <strong>the higher its level of productivity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mecmar<\/strong> has <strong>more than forty years of experience<\/strong> in the design and construction of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mecmargroup.com\/en\/catalogo\/tower_dryers-1\">tower dryers<\/a>: these are, in fact, continuous drying systems that meet the demands of those farmers who need to treat large quantities of cereals throughout the year. The <strong>innovation<\/strong> underlying their <strong>operation<\/strong> is the first distinctive attribute of every Mecmar continuous dryer: in the cooling phase of the grain, the heat recovered from the dried beans guarantees a <strong>reduced use of fuel<\/strong> and consequent <strong>savings in terms of costs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>design<\/strong> that distinguishes Mecmar continuous tower dryers also provides for the <strong>installation <\/strong>of a <strong>ventilation system<\/strong>: this is positioned in such a way as to <strong>limit the noise<\/strong> emitted by the system. In addition, the presence of an <strong>extractor<\/strong> placed at the base of the system favors a <strong>gentle treatment<\/strong> of cereals: only in this way is it possible to obtain <strong>homogeneous and regular drying<\/strong> of the grains.<\/p>\n<p>All Mecmar continuous dryers are equipped with a <strong>control panel<\/strong> from which it is possible to fully coordinate all the mechanical and electrical <strong>components<\/strong> of the machinery. The presence of an automatic control system will therefore allow you to benefit from <strong>more efficient machines<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to discover more about Mecmar grain dryers, read these articles:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mecmargroup.com\/en\/news\/3_advices_to_choose_the_best_grain_dryer_for_your_farm-54\">3 advices to choose the best grain dryer for your farm<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mecmargroup.com\/en\/news\/how_does_a_grain_dryer_work_discover_all_you_need_to_know-46\">How does a grain dryer work?

The plants of this type work thanks to a <strong>continuous cycle operation process<\/strong>: the grain is constantly extracted at the base of the machine and dried. Subsequently, when the time has come to <strong>cool <\/strong>the product, the cereal transfers its heat to the system so that it can be <strong>stored safely<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Going into detail, the product to dry <strong>descends from top to bottom<\/strong>, or is transported from the inlet to the outlet through a conveyor belt. Meanwhile, the <strong>flow of hot air<\/strong> passes transversely through the product to be dried, removing moisture. In all dryers there is a distinction between the <strong>drying area<\/strong> (where hot air passes) and a <strong>cooling area<\/strong> (where cold air is blown): generally, the first area occupies three quarters of the machine, while the rest goes to the cooling area that precedes the product release.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the <strong>versatility and efficiency<\/strong> of Mecmar continuous dryers, you will have a <strong>reliable and high-performance system<\/strong> to automatically treat <strong>large quantities<\/strong> of grain in total peace of mind. The <strong>benefits <\/strong>that can be obtained are many: first of all, the possibility of marketing 100% safe foods, which retain all their nutritional properties.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_equip_yourself_with_a_continuous_tower_dryer\"><\/span>Why equip yourself with a continuous tower dryer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Continuous tower dryers<\/strong> are one of the best solutions when you need a continuous production that keeps the quality of the cereal high.
