Summary: Grain dryers, also known as heated-air mechanical grain dryers, are devices used to reduce excess moisture from grains such as paddy and corn.

Grain dryers, also known as heated-air mechanical grain dryers, are devices used to reduce excess moisture from grains such as paddy and corn. This is achieved by forcing heated air through the grain mass until the desired moisture content is attained. The primary purpose is to prevent spoilage and ensure safe storage by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms. Grain dryers can be classified based on their system of operation (batch type or continuous flow) and their heating system (direct or indirect-fired, using renewable or non-renewable fuel sources).
