rice drying tower Introduction
A rice drying tower is a piece of equipment used to dry rice. It typically features a tower-like structure and is designed for continuous flow. By controlling temperature, humidity, and airflow, it reduces the moisture content of freshly harvested rice to safe storage levels, preventing the growth of mold and other harmful microorganisms. Rice drying towers play a crucial role in agricultural production and grain processing, contributing to the improvement of rice quality, extending shelf life, and reducing losses during grain storage.
Characteristics of rice drying tower
Efficient and Fast Drying
Rice drying towers employ continuous flow design to quickly and continuously process large quantities of rice, thereby enhancing production efficiency.
Precise Temperature and Humidity Control
They regulate the environmental conditions during drying with precise temperature and humidity control systems, ensuring uniform heating and appropriate drying of rice.
Quality Preservation
Proper drying helps maintain the color, texture, and nutritional value of rice, preventing the growth of mold and bacteria due to moisture.
Energy-saving and Environmentally Friendly
Modern rice drying towers often feature energy-saving designs and efficient heat utilization systems, reducing energy consumption and environmental pollution.
Flexible Adjustment
They can adjust drying parameters flexibly according to the needs of different regions, climates, and rice varieties to achieve personalized drying treatment.
Automation Control
Equipped with advanced automation control systems, they intelligently monitor and adjust the drying process, reducing manual intervention and enhancing operational convenience and stability.
Multiple Safety Protections
The equipment is equipped with multiple safety features such as overload protection, overheat protection, and emergency shutdown, ensuring safe and reliable operation.
Wide Applicability
Besides rice, rice drying towers are also suitable for drying other grains such as wheat, maize, etc.
The structure of rice drying tower
Main Structure:
Tower Body: Typically a vertical tower-like structure with a certain height, designed to accommodate rice and facilitate the drying process.
Feeding System:
Inlet: Used to introduce rice into the drying tower.
Feeding Conveyors: Such as screw conveyors or elevators, used to transport rice to the inlet.
Drying Area:
Drying Chamber: Comprising multiple drying sections, where rice is dried using hot air.
Heating Devices: Usually hot air furnaces or other heating equipment, providing heat to warm the drying air.
Temperature and Humidity Control System:
Temperature Sensors: Monitor the temperature inside the drying chamber.
Humidity Sensors: Monitor the humidity of rice and the surrounding environment.
Controller: Adjusts heating and fan operation based on sensor feedback to control temperature and humidity.
Exhaust System:
Exhaust Outlet: Used to expel humid air after drying.
Exhaust Fans: Assist in removing humid air, maintaining good ventilation inside the drying chamber.
Cooling Area:
Cooling Section: Cools the rice to an appropriate temperature after drying, ready for storage or further processing.
Discharge System:
Outlet: Used to convey dried rice from the bottom of the drying tower.
Discharge Conveyors: Such as screw conveyors or belt conveyors, transport dried rice to storage or further processing areas.
Safety Protection System:
Overheat Protection Devices: Prevent equipment from overheating.
Overload Protection Devices: Prevent equipment from operating under excessive load.
Emergency Shutdown Devices: Ensure quick shutdown in emergencies to guarantee safety.

Wide Applicability
Besides rice, rice drying towers are also suitable for drying other grains such as wheat, maize, etc.
Extended Shelf Life
By effectively removing moisture from rice, they can extend its shelf life, reducing losses during storage.
Application of rice drying tower
The Grain dryer machine is suitable for efficiently drying all cereals, grains, beans, and seeds of all crops such as corn, wheat, rice, soybean, sorghum, rapeseed, cashew, barley, etc. It is suitable for all kinds of farms.
Working Principle
The paddy crops are input from the top of the tower through the bucket elevator, and through the distribution device to ensure that the equipment is always in a full load state during operation.
The induced draft fan introduces the hot air into the inside of the tower body, and the rice crops are combined with the bottomless V-shaped baffles that are turned inward, and the multi-row V-shaped baffles are arranged staggered for processing, so that the rice crops can be mixed with the hot air, and the water vapor generated is discharged from the dryer exhaust system
