Industrial fans for grain drying

Grain drying today is frequently carried out on an industrial scale, not just to reduce the moisture from raw grain prior to storage, but also in malting process for the brewing industry and the drying of spent grain for animal and pet-foods.

 It usually involves high volumes of clean, warm air being passed through the product in rotary drum or gravity feed systems and while not a demanding application, efficiency is an important consideration.
