Corn Drying Process
Corn is one of the most important grain crops worldwide, widely used for human consumption, livestock feed, and industrial raw materials. After harvest, corn typically has a high moisture content, and if not dried promptly, it can easily develop mold and pests during storage, leading to quality degradation or rendering it unsuitable for consumption or processing. High-moisture corn generates heat during storage, promoting mold growth, which not only affects the corn’s color and flavor but also produces toxic mycotoxins that pose health risks. Drying technology can control the moisture content of corn at an optimal level, ensuring its safe storage and stable quality. Corn Drying Process Before drying, harvested corn needs to undergo preliminary cleaning to remove impurities such as dirt, stalks, and leaves. Cleaned corn is easier to heat evenly, improving drying efficiency and effectiveness. The cleaned corn is then fed into the drying equipment. Modern drying equipment typically features a large capacity design, allowing it to handle substantial...
