Eastern Europe 120 TPD Cold-Climate Grain Drying Project
Efficient, energy-saving drying solution optimized for sub-zero temperatures.
Region
Eastern Europe
Scale
120 TPD
Duration
2024
Background & Challenges
A grain farming cooperative in Eastern Europe needed a reliable drying solution capable of operating efficiently in cold climate conditions with temperatures dropping below -20°C.
Key Challenges:
Peak winter temperatures below -20°C requiring cold-adapted equipment.
Precise moisture control for export-grade quality.
Energy-efficient operation to manage costs.
Reliable start-up and continuous operation in sub-zero conditions.
AmGrainTech Solution
AmGrainTech supplied and installed a 120 TPD continuous flow grain dryer fully adapted for cold climates.
Key System Components:
5HL-120 Continuous Grain Dryer – Low-temperature operation package for uniform drying.
Cold-Weather Insulation on critical components to prevent heat loss.
Specialized Electrical Components rated for -30°C operation.
Precise Moisture Control System ensures ±0.5% accuracy.
Anti-Freeze Protection for all piping and sensors.
