Engineered to Save Labor, Built for Automation
Every component is designed to reduce manual work and deliver consistent drying quality — from the burner to the control system.
Multi-Fuel Burner System
Auto-switches between 6 fuel types in under 30 minutes. The burner auto-calibrates combustion parameters for each fuel — no manual reconfiguration, no specialist required.
Diesel
Natural Gas
Biomass
Rice Husk
Wood
Coal- One-touch fuel switching via PLC touchscreen
- Auto air-fuel ratio calibration per fuel type
- Flame failure protection & auto-restart
PLC Control Cabinet
Automates the entire drying cycle — from temperature control to moisture sensing. One operator can supervise multiple machines remotely.
- Touchscreen HMI with intuitive interface
- Automatic moisture sensing & drying cycle control
- Remote alarm via SMS for temperature deviations
- Drying data logging for quality traceability
Dual Temperature Sensors
Monitors both hot air temperature and grain bed temperature in real-time. The PLC adjusts burner output automatically to prevent overheating or underdrying.
- Hot air sensor: ±1°C precision in drying plenum
- Grain sensor: monitors core grain temperature
- Auto shutdown if grain temp exceeds safety threshold
- Digital display on control cabinet
Auto Grain Agitator
Rotating auger inside the drying hopper prevents grain from sticking and ensures uniform moisture distribution. Eliminates the need for manual grain turning between batches.
- Auto-rotating paddle mechanism
- Prevents grain bridging and hot spots
- Ensures ±0.5% moisture uniformity
- Programmable rotation intervals via PLC
What Makes 5T Batch Dryer Different
Engineering details that deliver value on every batch.
Compact Footprint
Small installed footprint fits inside existing grain stations or rice-mill yards without major civil works.
Bucket Elevator (Low Breakage)
Bucket elevator lifting system keeps grain breakage rates low — protecting head-rice yield and selling grade.
6 Fuel Options
Diesel, LPG, natural gas, biomass pellets, wood, or coal — choose the most cost-effective local fuel.
Multi-Grain Compatible
Handles paddy, maize, wheat, sorghum, and soybeans with adjustable drying parameters per grain.
Where 5T Batch Dryer Shines
Built for grain stations and medium-scale processing operations.
Grain Stations & Cooperatives
Fixed installation for community grain drying at centralized collection points. Serves multiple surrounding farms efficiently.
Rice Mills & Processing Plants
Integrate with existing processing lines for continuous grain supply. Reduces waiting time and spoilage during peak season.
Medium-Scale Farms
Dedicated drying facility for farms with 50–500 hectares of grain production. Lower per-ton cost than mobile drying.
Dual-Use Investment
G-SR-30/32 doubles as storage silo when not drying, maximizing equipment ROI. Other models offer compact footprint.
Batch Processing Flexibility
Handle different grain types and moisture levels in separate batches. Ideal for mixed-grain operations.
Energy-Efficient Operation
Lower per-ton energy cost than mobile dryers for consistent daily output. Optimized heat circulation design.
Key Performance Metrics
Quantified results from field operations across multiple grain types.
