The PETKUS Corn Cob Dryer DHD is used for the energy-efficient drying of husked corncobs at harvest moisture levels. In the Double-Pass Reverse Process all drying chambers are connected with each other by a central air duct system. The hot air is generated centrally by four burners/fans. In the first pass the drying air flows through the air ducts into the top of the drying chamber where it gives pre-dried product its final drying pass. The slightly saturated air exits at the bottom of this chamber and passes through previously undried corn in a second chamber from bottom to top and the cool saturated air exits outside as exhaust air. The double pass system allows for highly efficient use of energy.
