ClimAir50: technologies applied to cereals and forage dryers

With the arrival of the THB model ClimAir50 has extended their range of hot air woodchip heat generators for drying loose hay and cereals to exceed the megawatts of thermal power generated. The solution the company in San Giustina in Colle, near Padua, came up with is the application of renewable energy sources which has led to the great advantages of reducing the cost of drying as well as qualifying the procedure for white certification, that is, efficient energy production certification. In fact, the production of heat by highly efficient plant fired by woodchips as an alternative to the use of diesel can cut costs by up to 70%, especially if the chips are produced locally. Moreover, replacing diesel fired furnaces with those using woodchips for generating energy allows access to an energy efficiency category which means additional farm income. On the other hand, problems related to alfatoxin mold in cereals and the swings in their commodity prices further underscores the importance of lower costs associated with the thermal treatment of oilseeds. ClimAir50 is also a producer of products for drying hay, a fundamental procedure for protecting harvests in rainy periods and required for ensuring a high standard of quality for the production of a farm's own fodder. In this segment the Padua enterprise has brought to the market a wide and differentiated line and recently launched new compact models with high tech components for ensuring high performance now up for presentation at the Verona exposition. These are linked to the production of thermal energy with the use of renewal energy sources for firing with biogas and chips treated for the very efficient generation of heat. The ClimAir50 hay driers are certain of a welcome on the market thanks also their great performance which substantially reduced drying costs.
