Farm & Cooperative Grain Handling Solution

Small/medium investment · fast payback · simple operation · easy maintenance

Typical needs of farms & cooperatives

Unlike large storage enterprises, farms and cooperatives usually face: limited budgets, lack of skilled operators, restricted site area, and diverse crops (maize/wheat/rice rotation). Their equipment must meet "three lows, one high" — low investment, low operating cost, low operation barrier, high reliability.

Small batch dryer

Recommended models: 5HX-03/05/10 series (3–15 t/batch)

Suited to small/medium scale from a few to over a hundred tonnes per day. Fuel can be biomass pellets (using self-produced agri-waste), with very low operating cost. Only 1–2 operators needed, push-button control.

Payback period: typically 1–2 harvest seasons.

Small/medium cone-bottom steel silo

Recommended models: HB-50/100 series (50–100 t/silo)

Cone-bottom gravity discharge, no extra cleaning equipment. With simple axial-flow fan ventilation for 3–6 months of short-term storage. Add silos flexibly by output, invest in phases.

Typical configuration example: 50 t/day maize drying line

Equipment	Model	Qty	Note
Batch dryer	5HX-10	1 unit	10 t/batch, ~4–5 batches/day
Biomass hot-air furnace	Matching	1 unit	Uses corn cob/straw pellets
Bucket elevator	Matching	1 unit	Lifts wet grain into machine
Cone-bottom storage silo	HB-100	2 units	200 t total capacity

Frequently Asked Questions

I run a farm/cooperative with limited budget and few skilled workers - what fits?

We recommend a 'three lows, one high' combo: low investment, low operating cost, low operation barrier, high reliability. Small batch dryers 5HX-03/05/10 series (3-15 t/batch) need only 1-2 operators with push-button control; hopper-bottom silos HB-50/100 series (50-100 t/silo) discharge by gravity with no cleaning equipment.

Can I use my own farm waste as dryer fuel?

Yes. Batch dryers can run on biomass pellets made from corn cobs or straw, giving very low operating cost and carbon-neutral drying - a key way for farms to close the loop and cut cost.

How fast does this equipment pay back?

A typical 50 t/day maize drying plus 200 t hopper-bottom silo set pays back in about 1-2 harvest seasons. Capacity can be scaled flexibly by crop type, planting scale and budget, with phased investment.
