How Do Farmers Dry Corn?
In agricultural production, corn, as an essential food crop, plays a crucial role in post-harvest processing and storage. Among these processes, drying corn is particularly significant as it directly impacts the corn’s quality, storage, and transportation safety. In recent years, with the development of agricultural mechanization, corn dryers have gradually become farmers’ preferred tool for drying corn. Ⅰ.Working Principle of Corn Dryer Corn dryers are mechanical devices that utilize the principle of hot air convection to evaporate and discharge the moisture in wet corn. By exposing wet corn to hot air, the moisture in the corn is rapidly evaporated, and part of the heat is carried away, resulting in a significant reduction in corn’s humidity, thus achieving the purpose of drying. Ⅱ.Steps for Drying Corn Using a Corn Dryer Firstly, freshly harvested corn needs to be processed through a threshing machine for threshing. Then, the corn kernels are fed into the corn dryer’s main chamber through the inlet. Since...
