Agrex Smart grain dryers will be featured by Ryetec for the first time at the Lamma show, highlighting their fully automatic operation.

This is determined by setting a target moisture content after which the machine goes through the filling, drying, cooling and emptying phases without intervention.

A smartphone app provides remote monitoring at each stage, with performance and fault indications.

An external loading and recirculating auger is a novel feature that allows the recirculating speed to be increased as the grain dries – normally it is only adjustable when the hopper is empty, which means the speed is limited by input moisture.

Output, running cost and evenness of drying benefit as a result, says Ryetec.
