There are many different dealers that sell their products for them. Grain production is important, as it goes toward feeding animals and into many of our foods as well. To preserve grain and help it last longer, it is sometimes dried.
Grain Dryers Oregon are used to dry the wheat for storage. Drying the wheat before storing it is important because it limits the microbial growth. Different grains have different amounts of moisture that is safe for storage. Along with drying, it is recommended to store your grains at a low temperature to avoid loss of quality and to limit the chances of insects or mites invading your grain.
There are a few different types of grain dryers. Cross flow dryers are common in the United States and can produce up to one hundred metric tons of dried grain in an hour. Mixed flow dryers are common in Europe. The largest type of dryer, the continuous flow dryer, if often used off farm. The drying process can take anywhere from one to four hours depending on the moisture amount that needs to be removed, the type of grain you are drying, air temperature, and the depth of your grain.
The amount of moisture allowed to remain in your grain for safe storage depends on how long you plan on storing it. Even with proper drying, you face some risks with storing your grain. If you only plan to store the grain for a few weeks, you can leave 14% moisture, but the risks are the highest. You risk discoloration, mold, insect damage, respiration loss, and moisture absorption. At only 9% moisture, you can store the grain for a year, and your main risk is it losing its germination.
