Basic user demand is the evenly dried grain. But grain-drying is a technical, technological and economical issue at the same time. Optimizing a grain-dryer or the drying process itself is a complex task. But we can do more nowadays. Grain-drying can now be precision too. Precision agriculture is more and more present in crop production through soil preparation, sowing, fertilization, plant protection and other technological operations. They are based on location-specific information, which is also available for a grain-dryer.
Precision drying makes the drying process transparent and more secure, that results better quality of the dried grain.
Our services help our partners to achive the optimal operation of grain-dryers. See below for more details.

Videokontroll provides grain-dryer operators with important information on the drying process, it facilitates grain-drying and helps to prevent fire. Using the most up-to-date IT devices and solutions, important information hidden to the operator becomes visible.
The drying process is the key element of the technology for secure storage of the harvested grain. Grain drying is a flammable technological process, but its economic significance is enormous. It is worth to do it precise!
Videokontroll all over the surface measures the temperature of hot air passing through the mass of grain at the time of exit (hundreds of monitoring points).
Videokontroll helps to achieve
- transparent drying process
- better quality of dried grain (proteins, vitamins not destructed)
- more secure drying process (reduced fire hazard)
- secure warehousing (no microbes, no dust)
- less energy consumption, less CO2 emission
- monitoring over Internet by mobile devices
- precision drying (cost reduction)
Precision drying means tight control of the drying process, that realize slow and gentle vaporization of water from the grain. The process takes only the necessary amount of water from the grain, that is needed for the secure warehousing, while the technology prevents the locally overheating and overdrying of the grain mass.
More than 50 Videokontroll operates successfully on dozens of different types of grain dryers.
It can be used to the most cross-flow dryers in any country and patented in EU.

Our service allows our partners to fully diagnose the grain-dryer by identifying the existing problems and making recommendations for optimization. It helps to increase the safety and efficiency of the drying process and minimize energy consumption.
Precision drying makes the drying process transparent and more secure, that results better quality of the dried grain. The data set were collected on 12 different types of grain dryers, which covers the most generally used dryer types in Hungary and the European Union. The investigation determined that most of the dryers in Hungary need some modification to work on an optimal level. Through precision drying the drying process can be optimized, which can generate considerable cost reduction each year for the agricultural holdings. The transparent drying process ensures better quality of dried grain (proteins, vitamins not destructed), more secure drying process (reduced fire hazard) and warehousing (no microbes, no dust) and less energy consumption, less CO2 emission.
It is worth to use the most innovative devices and solutions to achieve the optimal drying-process. Essential requirement is the optimal moisture distraction in the dryer and the simple fine tuning possibilities during the installation. The modern grain dryers mostly have 5-6% deviation of the moisture content in one discharge of grain-mass, even though generally it should have homogenous moisture content distribution. By exploring the factors and solving the problems of the significant deviation of moisture content, energy saving and better grain-quality can be achieved, which means easier warehousing.
Optimal drying process realizes slow and gentle vaporization of water from the grain. The process takes only the necessary amount of water from the grain that is needed for the secure warehousing, while the technology prevents the locally overheating and over-drying of the grain mass. This process protects the quality of the grain while the energy consumption is kept on minimum level. Neither the modern grain-dryers give sufficient information about the drying-process for the operators. But most of the dryers can be fine-tuned using the precision drying methodology (some of them need small interventions, for others structural modifications are necessary after the problem identification).
Precision drying is based on modern information technology (IT) devices, new data processing methods and it supplies much more information on the drying process than any other device before. It gives tight control of the drying process; hence, preserving of the grain quality is important from the point of view the plant improvement, plant production and animal production also.
Want to build a grain-dryer? Do you plan for the next 20-30 years? Our service is accompanied by planning, requesting and comparing quotations until the finish of the investment. This helps to avoid future problems with the use of the drying plant.
Want to build a grain-dryer?
The DryerGuide decesion-support managment-service has been developed for You. Our service is accompanied by planning, requesting and comparing quotations until the finish of the investment. This helps to avoid future problems with the use of the drying plant: eg. the capacity of the drying tower is lower than the value indicated in the quotation, a lot of dust in the grain, high energy consumption.
The grain dryer is an expensive investment; therefore, the owners want to establish the most efficient technology. It is worth to use the most innovative devices and solutions to achieve the optimal drying-process.
Do not make decesions at random, based on less information!
