Whole Grain Dryer Machine
To dry grains with high efficiency while maintaining a compact
footprint, a Vertical Cyclone-Type Screw Grain Dryer is a professional choice
for 2026.
Based on specifications (4 ft diameter, 10 ft height), this machine
typically operates as a batch-recirculating dryer. The internal screw conveyor
(auger) continuously lifts the grain from the bottom to the top, where it falls
back down through a stream of hot air, electric heating heater with blower fan
uniform drying.

2. Price
For a machine of this specific size (4' x 10'), the price depends on the
thickness of the sheet metal and the total kW of the electric heaters.
3. Advantages of this System
- Uniform Drying:
Because the screw continuously mixes the grain, there are no "hot
spots" or wet pockets.
- Compact
Footprint: The vertical design (10 ft height) saves floor space compared
to horizontal tray dryers.
- Cleanliness: The
cyclone ensures that the air exhausted into your factory is free of dust
and grain skins.
- Electric
Precision: Unlike diesel or wood-fired systems, electric heaters provide
100% clean air (no smoke smell in the grain) and very precise temperature
control.
4. Important Considerations
- Moisture
Reduction Rate: Typically, this machine can reduce moisture by 2% to 3%
per hour. For example, bringing paddy from 20% to 14% moisture may take
2–3 hours.
