Put you in control of your harvest whatever the weather.

Why get caught out by another wet harvest when OPICO's Grain Dryers have the solution

Easy to install and relocate when necessary, OPICO Grain Dryers do not require vast expenditure on handling equipment and can easily dry up to 240 tons per day automatically, with minimal supervision.

Using diesel or gas and with 3 phase or PTO drive OPICO dryers recirculate the grain constantly to dry thoroughly and consistently whilst improving hectolitre weights and augmenting quality.

10 Good Reasons why to use recirculating batch dryer?

Why choose OPICO?

Minimise non drying time

Loading time and unloading time is dead time when using a dryer, OPICO dryers have high capacity loading augers, recirculating augers and unloading augers, reducing non drying time and increasing throughput.

Air flow through the grain

The more air you can blow through grain the more quickly grain will dry and cool, OPICO dryers have high capacity fans in relation to the size of the dryer which speeds up drying and cooling decreasing batch time and increasing throughput.

Heating the grain

Larger burners attain the drying temperatures more quickly and maintain more consistant drying temperature, decreasing drying time and increasing throughput.

Size of the drying zone

The size of the plenum chamber in a grain dryer dictates the amount of grain that is being dryed at any one time. The holding capacity of a grain dryer is irrelevant to the drying capacity, the larger the plenum area, the higher drying capacity. (See image)

Grain Dryers Range Gas Grain Dryers Diesel Grain Dryer

Click one of the Grain Dryers below. Gas Diesel     Gas Grain Dryer Range 9 - 18 ton approximate holding capacity 4.5 - 7 ton per hour throughput Liquid Propane Gas Efficient Clean Drying Epoxy coated sheets = longevity Proportional plenum = higher throughput GT Dryers use Liquid Propane Gas fuel source for drying heat. A tank or a group of bottles are needed to supply the Dryer with liquid gas which is vaporised within the dryer and supplied to the burner ring. This provides a very clean, easily controllable and even heat which is cost effective and means that the burner requires minimal operator input and minimal servicing. When drying Malting barley and milling crops many owners prefer Gas as a fuel for its guaranteed cleanliness and efficiency.

The unique Duax Heat Core builds up and retains heat to moderate the burner temperature as the burner switches from high to low flame. This clever system ensures an accurate and constant heat and makes the Magna one of the cleanest and most efficient diesel dryers on the market. Back to features image
