Crop Drying

Whatever your crop, Calor can provide clean, cost-effective and controllable power for both mobile and static grain dryers. Calor LPG is a highly controllable fuel, making optimum drying temperatures easy to maintain.

Wheat, maize, barley, rape, peas, potatoes, bulbs and onions can all be dried economically and efficiently with Calor LPG to the correct levels for storage and onward sale. On average, 2.5 litres of propane will decrease the moisture level of a ton of grain by 1%.

For mobile on-site drying, completely self-contained batch dryers are available from major manufacturers. These can be particularly useful if you wish to share the cost of buying a dryer with other farmers. All that is required is a tractor to provide the power take-off.

A wide choice of Calor-compatible continuous flow dryers is also available. Like their batch drying equivalents, these modern dryers are easily sited and competitively priced.

Our commitment to innovation is influencing more and more areas of agricultural business. When it comes to growing flower, Calor customers are using Calor LPG to power heating and cooling systems that enable both growth and then a slowing of the blooming process. An approach that can prevent the wastage of crop which can occur with ambient production.

And with a choice of bulk tanks or cylinders, its easy to ensure the most convenient and cost effective supply of propane to cater for your individual needs.
