Forage dehydration

Ventilation solutions for forage dehydration

In the agricultural industry, forage dehydration is an essential process to ensure the preservation and quality of livestock feed. This method helps to retain nutrients, prevent fermentation, and reduce the risk of mould, enabling safe and long-term storage.

Why is ventilation key in the dehydration process?

Industrial fans play a critical role at every stage of forage dehydration by enhancing energy efficiency, thermal control, and uniform drying. These systems are vital in rotary dryers or hot air chambers, ensuring optimal airflow at high temperatures.

Fans in dehydration stages:

1. • Burner fan:
     Ensures a consistent supply of oxygen to the burner, optimising the flame and the heat needed for drying.
     Recommended product: MB.

   • Dryer cylinder fan:
     Generates a uniform flow of hot air in the cylinder, maintaining constant temperatures for even drying.
     Recommended products: MTRU, NIMUS-TR.

   • Cooling process fan:
     Cools the dried forage to prevent issues like spontaneous combustion, ensuring safe storage conditions.
     Recommended product: NIMUS.

Recommended fans:

• MTRU: A medium-pressure centrifugal fan, ideal for high temperatures (up to 250°C), featuring a self-cleaning system and frequency control to maximise energy efficiency.
• NIMUS: Designed for efficient and safe cooling of forage.
• MB: Specialised for ensuring controlled combustion in the burner.
