Mecmar - Model RG 400/14 -Continuous Cycle Dryers with Heat Recovery
The continuous cycle dryers in Mecmar’s MC series are designed to provide high-efficiency and productivity solutions for the grain drying process. These advanced machines are capable of handling large volumes of product, ensuring excellent quality of the processed grain. Operation is simple and automated: the grain is loaded into the top of the drying column until the reserve section is fully filled. From here, the product begins to descend through the column, where an optimized airflow system continuously and evenly removes moisture. This process ensures uniform drying, minimizing quality loss in the grain.
The drying column is structured to use hot air in the upper section, effectively reducing the grain’s moisture, and cold air in the lower section, bringing the product back to ideal conditions of temperature and humidity for storage or further processing. The system is further optimized by the use of a pulsed pneumatic extractor, ensuring a continuous flow of product from the reserve to the discharge hopper.
Controlled via a next-generation PLC, the MC series dryers allow complete process control, with the option for both automatic and manual operation. With remote access via smartphone, operators can monitor and manage dryer operations remotely, ensuring flexible and highly efficient management.
The grain is loaded into the top of the drying column until the reserve section is fully filled. From here, the grain begins to descend while an optimized airflow continuously and uniformly removes moisture.
The airflow is designed to ensure uniform drying and expel the more humid air that has passed through the upper part of the column. At the same time, cooling air and part of the less humid warm air used for final drying are recovered, thus minimizing fuel consumption.
The control system is developed to automatically or manually regulate the amount of product discharged at the base via a pulsed pneumatic extractor.
The elements illustrated in the process are:
- Grain loading
- Burner intake air
- Drying zone
- Hot air zone
- Exhaust air
- Cooling section
- Grain discharge
- Heat recovery
