Raw Paddy Dryer

Paddy Dryers are used to reduce the moisture content in paddy grain for preventing spoilage during storage.

The harvested paddy will have a very high moisture level and may not be suitable for storing or milling directly. Hence the need to dry the paddy uniformly to the required moisture level of 14%. Various problems such as discoloration, loss of germination, mold development, insect infestation, odor development, loss of yield etc. can occur if not dried properly.

The Paddy Dryer system consists of a hot air furnace and a vertical dryer. Hot air is generated in the furnace suitable for multi-fuel and is blown across the paddy inside the dryer where the excess moisture is then removed. The paddy is circulated a few times until it reaches its required moisture level.

Application: Only paddy.
