What equipment is recommended for grain dryers

What is the difference between drum type and box type grain dryers

Grain dryer and box dryer are two different types of drying equipment, each with unique characteristics and applicable scenarios. The following is a detailed introduction to these two types of dryers:

Grain dryer: definition and purpose
Grain drum dryer is a specialized equipment used for drying grains. It adopts a hot air drying box design and generates a large amount of hot air in a short period of time through a rotary heating device to heat and dry grains, in order to reduce the moisture content of grains, kill insect eggs, and solve the problem of grain drying.
working principle
It mainly includes heating and drying, ventilation circulation, temperature control, humidity monitoring, and automatic dehumidification. Hot air is sent into the drying chamber through a fan to heat and dry the grains; At the same time, the ventilation and circulation system ensures the removal of moisture from the drying room to maintain appropriate humidity; Temperature control and humidity monitoring are achieved through sensors, controllers, and other components to ensure optimal drying of grains.
Type and Characteristics
According to the direction of relative movement between grains and airflow, grain dryers can be divided into cross flow, mixed flow, co flow, counter flow, forward counter flow, mixed counter flow, and forward mixed flow types. Different types of grain dryers have different characteristics and applicable scenarios. For example, the cross flow dryer has a simple manufacturing process, easy installation, low cost, and high productivity, but the uniformity of grain drying is poor and the unit heat consumption is high; The mixed flow dryer has a uniform supply of hot air, a relatively uniform moisture content in the dried grains, and low unit heat consumption, but it has a complex structure and slightly higher manufacturing costs; The downstream dryer uses hot air with high temperature, low unit heat consumption, and can ensure the quality of dried grains, but it has a complex structure and requires a high power high-pressure fan.

Box type dryer: definition and purpose
Box type dryer, especially box type fruit and vegetable dryer, is a device used for drying materials such as fruits and vegetables. It adopts a box type design, with heating elements and fans installed inside. By heating the air and circulating it, the material is evenly heated during the drying process, achieving the effect of rapid drying.
working principle
After heating the air to a certain temperature through electric heating or gas heating, the hot air is sent into the drying box through a fan. The material is subjected to the action of hot air in the drying box, and the moisture gradually evaporates and is discharged outside the box, thus achieving the purpose of drying. At the same time, box type dryers are usually equipped with temperature control systems and dehumidification systems to ensure the stability and efficiency of the drying process.
Characteristics and Applications
Box type dryer has the advantages of uniform drying, fast speed, high efficiency, and less material adhesion. It can achieve automatic temperature control and automatic moisture removal, which can keep the dried materials in better shape and color. In addition, the box dryer is also suitable for drying various materials, such as traditional Chinese medicine, fruits, vegetables, etc. In household or small-scale agricultural production, small box type dryers are widely used due to their characteristics of space saving, energy saving and environmental protection, simple operation, and high efficiency and speed.
