Grain drying & handling
Harvest when the crop is ready. Dry it to safe moisture.
A dryer takes the guesswork out of getting maize, wheat and soya dry enough to store and sell. Harvest when the crop is ready instead of waiting on the field, and keep more of it out of the rain.
How it dries
Even drying that keeps up with the harvest.
Wet grain feeds in at the top and dry grain comes out the bottom without stopping so it dries evenly all the way through and keeps moving through the whole harvest. Built mainly for maize, wheat and soya, the same drying approach can be configured for crops such as macadamia, paprika, onions and seed-maize cobs.

Dryer range
Continuous-flow dryer capacities
8 tonne/hour dryer
01Approx. 8 t/hour · ~5% moisture drop · up to ~192 t/day
A practical option for farms needing reliable drying capacity without over-sizing the installation.
12 tonne/hour dryer
02Approx. 12 t/hour · ~5% moisture drop · up to ~288 t/day
A mid-capacity dryer for farms handling larger harvest volumes and tighter storage windows.
16 tonne/hour dryer
03Approx. 16 t/hour · ~5% moisture drop · up to ~384 t/day
A higher-output dryer for commercial operations where harvest pressure and grain movement are critical.
Why it matters
Why drying capacity can change the season.
Get off the land earlier
Reap before the crop is field-dry, beat the early rains, and leave less standing to lodge or go missing.
Deliver sooner, with more options
Earlier drying can help you deliver before queues build, protect quality, and choose better marketing windows.
Clear land earlier for the next crop
Drying lets you harvest earlier, move crop off the land sooner, and prepare for the next planting window.
Contract drying potential
Where capacity allows, a dryer can also be used to dry for neighbouring farms.
