PETKUS Continuous Flow Dryer — gentle, efficient, automated

Engineered for grain quality and low operating costs, the PETKUS continuous flow dryer combines uniform, low-stress drying with smart control and energy-saving design. A modular arrangement of drying, cooling, and storage sections, optimized aerodynamics, and air recirculation deliver reliable results while keeping dust and noise emissions below regulated limits. Conically shaped air ducts drive a zigzag product motion for perfect mixing and uniform drying, while insulation and heat recovery cut fuel use for energy savings of about 15%. Capacity can be increased by up to 12% thanks to the conical air-channel geometry.

What sets it apart

• Automated precision: control software with automated process control and continuous moisture monitoring.

• Uniform, gentle drying: zigzag movement through conical channels alternates warm and cool air contact to maintain optimal kernel temperature and quality.

• High efficiency: ~15% energy savings via insulation, heat recovery, conical ducts, axial fans, and air recirculation.

• More throughput: up to 12% capacity gain from conically shaped air ducts.

• Clean & quiet: dust and noise below regulated limits.

• Flexible heat source: direct or indirect hot-air generation with gas or oil burners.

• Robust mechanics: axial fans with louvre dampers; interval emptying via pneumatically operated discharge.

Suitable crops: cereals, oilseeds, maize, rice, pulses.
