Combination Drying
Combination drying is a process using a high temperature dryer to dry the crop to a certain level, then a natural air/low temperature drying system completes the drying process.
This system may be used to increase the capacity of the high temperature drying equipment, for increased energy efficiency, or when conditions are not suitable to start drying with a Natural Air/Low Temperature drying system.
The crop is dried from the harvest moisture content to an acceptable level for natural air/low temperature drying then it is moved into bins equiped with a Natural Air/Low Temperature system for further drying.
