Prediction: Will 2017 be the spring of grain dryer development?

In recent years, China's grain drying machinery and equipment industry has achieved rapid development. However, as a whole, it is still in a state of chaos in the market, lags behind in product technology, has poor corporate innovation capabilities, weak research and development capabilities, and has a one-time purchase cost that is too high. Regulations, market levels, technical levels, etc., promote the continued healthy and orderly development of the dryer industry.

“But the level of mechanization for grain drying in China is still very low, yet it is less than 10%, and the mechanized level of grain drying in developed countries such as Europe and the United States is above 90%,” said Zhu Wenwen, a professor at Henan University of Science and Technology, and a doctoral supervisor at Henan University of Science and Technology. At present, one of the key points of China's agricultural mechanization is to develop to full-scale and comprehensive development. The demand for agricultural machinery is extended to the pre- and post-production period, and the demand for agricultural machinery is also growing toward drying equipment.

"Dryer" covers a wide range of industries, involving metallurgy, minerals, chemicals, building materials and many other fields, "grain dryer" can only be considered a very small one. However, with the changes in the international food market, the concentration of land circulation to promote the development of large-scale agriculture, and the adjustment of subsidies for agricultural machinery, grain dryers, once the “small, cold” models, have become hot and have become agricultural machinery. The next big blue ocean in the industry.

Products to medium-large and professional development

“Despite the rapid increase in domestic dryer holdings in recent years, the amount of food dried by dryers still accounts for only a fraction of the country’s total grain output. The development of grain dryers in China is far from being able to adapt to food. Needs for production development.” Zhu Wenxue believes that with the acceleration of agricultural modernization and the development of the agricultural product processing industry, there is great potential for the development of grain dryers in the future.

“Medium-sized and large-sized dryers are the main direction of grain drying in the future, because large and medium-sized dryers not only have complete functions, good drying processes, large production capacity, and environmental protection and energy conservation, but also have low unit investment costs and low drying operation costs. “Lee Heng, deputy general manager of Zhengzhou Wangu Machinery Co., Ltd., said that in recent years, there have been various types of drying, drum drying, tube drying, microwave drying, infrared radiation drying, heat pump drying, low temperature vacuum drying, and solar drying. The form of drying equipment, but for various reasons, has not yet been applied to scale.

“China has achieved brilliant results in solving large batches of high-moisture grain drying in the cold regions of the North, basically achieving mechanization of drying, and drying small batches of wet grains in the temperate and southern regions, especially after the land is transferred to mechanized operations. The grain drying problem has not yet been well resolved.” Liu Cuiping, general manager of Zoomlion's Grain Drying Business Unit, told the reporters that the planting scale in the temperate and southern regions is small and there are fewer wet grains in each household. The temperature at harvest is high and wet grains are not allowed. Long-term storage is more suitable for low temperature cycle dryers.

The analysis of the research report on the operation trend and investment strategy of China's grain dryer industry from 2016 to 2021 indicates that in the future, domestic dryers will develop in three directions: one is that due to the large-scale operation, most products will be developed to medium-large scale; According to the subdivision of foodstuffs, cash crops, flowers and herbs, etc., the drying equipment is subdivided and developed in the direction of specialization and specialization; the other is to meet the different needs of the development of fixed and mobile drying equipment.

In short, the report hall of China analyzed the prospects of the grain dryer industry in 2017. It is believed that the grain dryer market has unlimited prospects, but it is indeed a short board of China's agricultural machinery, and it is in the melee stage, with low technical content, poor automation, and mature models. The problem of low product variety, high energy consumption, etc. needs to be solved urgently.
