Grain drying on biomass: what you need to know before switching
In practice the question is not “which heat generator should I buy?” but “how do I reduce drying cost?”. That is where the conversation should start.
Base formula
The clearest way is to think in t·%: grain volume × moisture to remove. It helps compare sites and estimate fuel use quickly.
1000 t × 5% = 5000 t·%
For sunflower pellets the HELIX reference point is 1.5–2.0 kg per 1 t·%.
Wood chips
Can be very attractive with own feedstock, but depend more on moisture and logistics.
Husk / residues
Very strong economics when combustion geometry, feeding and automation are configured correctly.
