Harvest is a stressful period for any farmer – but doing so given unpredictable Scottish weather requires some luck and many long days and during these times every little helps.
Drying harvested crops in batches shouldn’t be another concern as the dependable Alvan Blanch Double Flow drying technology has shown.
The company said these can process any combinable crop, no matter how wet or dirty, and will give growers peace of mind during harvest. The system can seamlessly harvest and dry crops, with no batch loading, which saved precious time for other tasks, it said.
Fuel efficiency of the double flow principle means that the warm drying air is recycled in order to reduce fuel consumption. Its unique louvred bed system ensured there was no downtime between loads, even when drying different crops.
"From around £83,500 you can have a fully installed and commissioned drying system capable of drying up to 330 tonnes per day," said a spokesman. "All you need to do is arrange fuel supply, power supply and build a level concrete base, either indoor or outdoor.
"The system comes with a pre-wired control panel with additional starters, a ground-mounted Søby intake and a discharge handling system – with both already included in the price. A two-year warranty comes as standard and this offer is backed as well with two years of servicing," he said.
Alvan Blanch driers have a reputation for longevity and are one of the oldest names in the business for crop handling, with technical support provided by an extensive network of Alvan Blanch dealers nationwide and servicing teams.
