New style grain dryer
A new style grain drier with more drying capacity has been put on the market by IBEC. The Alberta-based company says its new Turbo series has a patent-pending duct design that maximizes air flow and drying efficiency without compromising basic design features.
More bushels are dried per dollar invested, providing cost savings to producers, the company said in a news release, adding that the automated, continuous flow Turbo series can be used by farmers looking for more capacity and by those in the market for smaller, economical driers. Transport costs and on-site assembly costs are also lower.
