Benefits of Stirring

What is the advantage of using stirrers?

Answer:

Stirrers are beneficial when the speed of drying is the primary requirement, or where the site is low on power availability. 

  1. They are good for fluffing up the crop to reduce resistance to airflow so increasing the airspeed through the crop.
  2. They reduce the risk of capping by breaking up the drying front working its way up through the depth of crop.
  3. They are advantageous for crops such as grass seeds which tend to compact down and so reduce the airflow through the crop.
