Post-harvest grain management was a key theme at this year’s Cereals Event, with several new launches on display to help growers better safeguard quality and make every tonne count.

This included Plug&Cool’s Outdoor 2.2kW fan, designed for underfloor cooling systems. Built to weather rain and temperature extremes, the externally mounted fans deliver high airflow while standing up to harsh conditions – making it ideal for long-term installations, says the firm’s Rael Bearman.

For Alvan Blanch, the DF6000 was the star of the show – a high-capacity continuous-flow dryer designed to handle all crop types with minimal intervention.

“The beauty of this dryer is its flexibility,” says Simon Shaw, the firm’s head of sales. “You can switch between crops without having to empty or pre-clean. Plus, it’s designed with safety in mind – fewer hot spots and full access via hinged doors make it a much lower fire risk.”

DF6000 combines engineering with smart tech and uses advanced sensors to remove just the right amount of moisture, protecting both quality and energy usage. “It’s really a fit-and-forget system,” adds global marketing exec, Isha Deshpande. “Once it’s running, it just works — giving growers one less thing to worry about during the chaos of harvest.
