Grain dryer Eco Dry

cornricewheat

Overview
The Eco Dry is a continuous-flow column dryer designed to remove moisture from wet commodities such as rice, oilseed, corn, wheat and other pourable grains. It delivers controlled, uniform drying to prepare products reliably for storage or downstream processing.

Key benefits

• Gentle, uniform drying: vertical duct configuration and product flow separation minimise thermal stress and promote even moisture distribution.
• Energy-efficient operation: integrated heat recovery and optimised heating media reduce fuel consumption and enable flexible process settings.
• Compliance-ready exhaust control: compatible with the Eco Clean centrifugal dedusting system to limit dust emissions; optional separators available for specific crops.

Highlight features

• Patented design — Reduced thermal load on the product: diagonal arrangement of ducts continuously redirects airflow to lower local temperature peaks and permit higher process temperatures without excessive stress.
• Product flow separation — Uniform drying results: the design displaces moister grains from the centre to the edge and vice versa without mechanical mixing, achieving homogenous final moisture profiles.
• Removing dust — Highly efficient dust separator: the Eco Clean centrifugal dedusting system removes moisture-laden dust; exhaust dust volumes can be kept below 20 mg/m³ to meet strict regulatory limits. An optional bees wing separator is offered for corn drying.
