Corn Grain Dryer: Ensuring Optimal Quality for Storage and Sale

Corn is a warm-season crop that thrives in abundant light and requires higher temperatures than other cereals to develop properly.

To ensure the preservation and successful sale of corn, it is essential that the cereal undergoes proper treatment, particularly drying. Corn needs to be dried to a safe moisture level to prevent spoilage during storage. Although corn can be dried from any initial moisture content, for the best results, it is recommended to begin the drying process when the moisture content is no higher than 30%.

During the drying process for corn intended for storage and sale, the air temperature inside the dryer is typically set at 110°C. This temperature is crucial for effectively reducing moisture levels while preserving the quality of the grain. However, it is important to adjust the drying temperature based on the intended use of the corn, ensuring that the grain meets the specific requirements for its eventual purpose.

Utilizing a corn grain dryer not only extends the shelf life of the crop but also enhances its marketability by ensuring that the corn is properly conditioned for storage and consumption.
