Changzhou's first grain electric drying equipment service autumn grain drying

Recently, in Guohuang Agricultural Cooperatives in Qianhuang Town, Wujin District, the electricity supply personnel commissioned the first food grain drying equipment in the city to prepare for autumn grain drying.

At present, most of existing grain dryers use coal, diesel, etc. as fuel, which has the problems of large environmental pollution, low drying efficiency, poor safety performance, and high operating costs. The electric drying equipment adopts an energy-efficient air source heat pump technology. Compared with the traditional coal, diesel and other drying energy sources, the electric drying equipment has features such as simple operation, safety, environmental protection, precise control, and improved grain product quality, and the energy-saving effect is obvious.

The power supply department estimates that the use of electric drying technology requires about 890 kWh of electricity to dry one ton of grain, 0.499 yuan per meter of electricity for agricultural production, and a drying cost of about forty-five yuan, which can save twenty to thirty yuan over burning coal. .

Next, the power supply department will promote the use of food and electric drying equipment throughout the city.
