Portable container dryer heads to Poland to dry pumpkin seeds!
Easy handling during loading and unloading is becoming a crucial factor, while producers are striving to remain competitive in the face of labour shortages and rising labour costs.
The portable container dryer includes all the additional equipment needed to make this possible.
Equipped with additional options — a paddle mixer and a perforated moving floor — this model represents an ideal solution for drying pumpkins, as well as other wet and sticky materials such as rosehip, grape pomace, and brewer’s malt.
The low material layer spread over a large floor area means that the material is not subjected to high pressure from its own weight, while also generating less resistance to airflow.
The portable container dryer is also successfully used for grains and nuts (hazelnuts, almonds, etc.), sliced roots, or whole herbal biomass.
With customised perforated floors segments, it can additionally be used for small seeds such as rapeseed, hemp, and others.
Overall, it is a universal solution suitable for:
-
-
- grains (corn, buckwheat, wheat, barley, rye, spelt),
- legumes (soybeans),
- oilseeds (sunflower, hemp, rapeseed, flax),
- nuts (hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts, pistachios, macadamia nuts),
- sliced roots (marshmallow, valerian, lovage, angelica),
- whole herbal biomass (nettle, mint, lemon balm, sage, thyme, rosemary, lavender).
-
Universal. Automated. Energy-Efficient.
This portable container dryer is also equipped with a biomass-fired thermal generator with automatic fuel feeding, as well as automatic control of temperature, humidity, and other process parameters. This fundamentally sustainable energy source offers unique advantages.
For example, using biomass for heat generation in nut production provides energy self-sufficiency, allowing you to dry the nuts using a by-product — their shells. At the same time, significant quantities of shell material remain available for sale on the market as animal bedding, mulch, or heating fuel.
Possible fuels include:
- hazelnut, walnut, and almond shells,
- plum, apricot, and peach pits,
- calibrated wood chips (G20),
- wood pellets,
- shredded branches (rosehip, etc.),
- properly prepared straw pellets (pellets made from cereal or oilseed straw, corn stalks) with the addition of lime.
Many people ask us: How is this dryer cleaned?
Cleaning underneath the floor is actually made easier by this construction! The floor sections do not need to be removed during cleaning. Instead, the entire floor can simply be moved by turning a switch to the cleaning position.
