Eco Dry The patent-pending Schmidt-Seeger dryer We develop solutions for your success Eco Dry revolutionizing continuous-flow dryers. Fields of application Grains Maize Oil seeds Rice Beans Peas Soybeans Special products (e. g. clay minerals) Straw pellets All types of pourable special products Eco Dry is the result of continuing research and development in search of ever more efficient drying solutions for seed crops. Ultra-uniform aeration patterns thanks to the new drying segment layout. For a perfectly uniform distribution of the air flow across the product, thanks to the diagonal layout of the drying segments. The ever increasing energy prices of the past few years have made conventional drying seem less and less advantageous.

Eco Dry Heating technology Eco Dry Dedusting technology Heating media Oil Natural gas Steam Biomass Indirect air heater Indirect operation, with smoke gas flue Indirect air heater Can be switched over to direct operation by opening the smoke gas flue and combustion chamber Dedusting technology comprising Centro separator Radial fan Dust sluice The dust separators made by Schmidt-Seeger work by centrifugal force. The residual dust content is less than the value required by law. 0 Guaranteed state-of-the-art technology thanks to continuing optimization!

Eco Dry and Eco Cool The power package for maize Rain flap Storage tank Grain fill Drying module The advantages of combining Eco Dry and Eco Cool Supply air hood Exhaust air High energy savings potential No need for a cooling zone in the dryer Separation of the product flow Silencer Centro separator Insulation Increases dryer performance Reduces dryer cycle time by approx. one hour! Raises recirculated-air temperature inside the dryer (approx. 65 instead of 45 ) Mixed air Reduces heat stress on the product (Proma value) Balances moisture differences due to grain sweating in the Eco Cool Exhaust air hood Fresh intake air Dust separator Supply air hood Hot-air generator Fan Understructure Maize uncooled approx. 7 % H 2 O Understructure Recirculated air Air recirculation fan 2 3
