Drying corn is an essential step in corn production, crucial for preserving the grain’s quality and preventing spoilage. After harvest, corn typically has a high moisture content, ranging from %20 to %30, which must be reduced to around %15 to %13 for safe stoage and long-term stability. The drying process helps maintain the structural intergrity of the kernels and prevents the growth of mold or fungi, ensuring that the corn retains its nutritional value and usability.
Traditional corn drying methods use uncontrolled heated airflow, often between 38 °C degree to 40 °C to lower the moisture content without damaging the grain. Advances in drying technology have allowed for precise control over temperature and airflow.
