Grain Drying Complexes

Why Invest in a Grain Drying Complex?

To reduce the moisture content of harvested grain, leguminous, and oilseed crops, grain drying complexes are widely used by farming enterprises and agro-industrial companies. Processing grain with automated equipment prevents mold growth and pest infestation, preserves product quality during long-term storage, and in some cases, can even improve its characteristics.

Choosing agricultural equipment is a complex and responsible task that requires time and attention to many technical details.
LARGOS offers professional assistance in buying or selling grain drying complexes, fully equipped and ready for operation.

Design and Operating Principle of a Grain Dryer

When purchasing a grain dryer, it’s important to understand that a complete drying complex should include the following components:

• Receiving unit, consisting of an unloading system and a receiving pit
• Cleaning equipment to remove soil, weeds, stones, and insects from the harvested grain
• Drying chambers
• Heat generators
• Bucket elevators (norias) for internal transportation of grain
• Storage units, such as bins or silos
• Automated control and monitoring systems for managing drying processes

The configuration, price, and processing sequence of the grain drying system depend on the type and model of the equipment, as well as the specific agricultural focus — for example, seed preparation, raw material processing for flour production, or vegetable oil extraction.

How to Choose and Buy a New or Used Grain Dryer in Ukraine

If you’re looking to buy a new or used grain dryer in Ukraine, the agricultural market offers a wide range of options — from mobile units to stationary complexes capable of processing large volumes of grain. Based on construction type, grain dryers are typically classified as follows:

• Shaft dryers – the most common type. These have a vertical shaft design, where grain is loaded from the top and dried by a mixed cross-flow of heated air.
• Modular dryers – horizontal systems made up of separate columns, with the number of modules depending on the required capacity. Each module includes multiple sections with integrated electrical systems and sensors. These dryers are flexible and allow for processing varying quantities of grain.
• Tower dryers – vertical cylindrical units equipped with temperature sensors at different levels. Grain moves through the chamber and is dried by a continuous flow of warm air.

All types of grain dryers are equipped with cooling sections to reduce the temperature of the dried grain before storage.

When reviewing offers for grain dryers, pay attention to the following:

• Performance, cost-efficiency, and energy consumption
• Ease of operation and maintenance
• Fuel type – options include diesel, gas, or alternative sources such as straw, sunflower husks, firewood, or pellets

Stationary grain drying complexes typically require minimal land area, and in some cases, are sold together with the land plot. When selecting a facility, it is advisable to choose installations located close to fields or grain elevators, away from residential zones, and with convenient access roads.

LARGOS can assist you in purchasing both new and used grain drying equipment in any region of Ukraine.
