Pedrotti grain dryers are extremely versatile, full independent machines. They do not require any additional mechanical equipment or construction work. The machines operate on the principle of repeated batch drying, using continuous grain recirculation. This solution ensures a completely uniform grain quality after the drying process.
From loading to unloading
One of the world's largest selection of recirculating batch grain dryers, suitable for drying all types of cereals and oilseeds.
Due to the highly stable and for the exact temperature control and Equal moisture control, the dryers ensure a uniform result from batch to batch. Grain movement in the hopper is controlled by both internal augers and external elevators, so even the most most sensitive the seeds are subjected to a special treatment gently. For oilseed crops such as oilseed rape or sunflowers, the design of the dryer and the safety systems in practice eliminates the risk of fire, thanks to the burners, overheating alarms and continuous DLC control. All this not only ensures maximum safety, but also to maintain highest the final product quality.

Standard equipment
Pedrotti dryers are supplied with standard safety systems that ensure reliable and safe operation at every stage. Integrated sensors, overheating protection and DLC fire control reduce the risk of fire and protected by operators and equipment. Electronics are protected IP65 standard control boxes and reinforced cable enclosures to ensure resistance to dust, moisture and external influences. Dryer modes: automatic or manual The dryer is operated in manual mode directly: a separate button for each engine and component. In automatic mode, all you need to do is set the parameters, the number of cycles required and the cooling time. Pressing the start button will start the dryer automatically will perform all the set cycles. Remote-controlled hydraulic hoist Powerful hydraulic lift fast and smooth lifts the top of the central propeller without additional effort. Electronic safety the device ensures that parts move only after the appropriate team. Limit sensor stops precisely motion, with parts perfectly aligned to each other for smooth operation. Automatic equipment with main touchscreen These technologies form a robust control system that ensures ease of use, automatic process control and the highest level of safety in grain dryers:
Monitor the dryer's performance with your smart device A personalised HTML control page is available from all remote devices - both "Android", both "Apple" - tablets, phones or computers.
14 pre-drying temperatures For drying, a choice of 14 factory-set drying modes and create your own individual. Simply switch from one mode to the other, at any time, replace with temperature values. Each culture setting includes a target grain temperature and a working air temperature. Both values in real time are controlled by a PLC to ensure maximum precision at every stage. Convenient and simple operation The intelligent touch screen is designed to make setting up and using the grain dryers easy simple. The system is highly intuitive: from basic to advanced drying modes, the user is guided step-by-step, reducing the likelihood of human error in the drying and cooling processes. The management page works like wallpaper - It displays all the information you need about how the dryer is working and what phase of operation it is in at the time. DLC fire electronic device The DLC (Driving Line Control) system continuously monitors the movement of the central screw and agitators in the dryer, by ensuring the correct grain flow. The constant movement of the grain ensures that no grain is overheated more than necessary, thus by removing the risk of accidental ignition inside the dryer. If grain movement stops for any reason, the flame immediately extinguished. Full control at the touch of a button For drying, a choice of 14 factory-set drying modes and create your own individual. Simply switch from one mode to the other, at any time, replace with temperature values. Each culture setting includes a target grain temperature and a working air temperature. Both values in real time are controlled by a PLC to ensure maximum precision at every stage.
An electronic sensor on the inspection door stops the dryer when it opens and warns you. This ensures that workers security and prevents grain losses. Integrated notification and alert system Continuously monitors the operation of the grain dryer and provides a clear list of all operating messages and possible warnings. The burner lock button is important safety equipment for for emergency to stop. When the button is pressed, the burner immediately switched off, ensuring the safety of the operator and the equipment.
Pedrotti electronics and standard safety equipment
Digital safety systems
Each Pedrotti the dryer can be equipped with additional options that optimise performance, significantly increase convenience, simplify use and improve the quality of the machine itself. Touchscreen "The Pedrotti Advanced Touch screen provides simple and intuitive operation of electric grain dryers, guiding the user step by step from basic to advanced drying modes, reducing the chance of errors during drying and cooling.
Cooling silo All Pedrotti dryers can be equipped with cooling silos, saving energy and speeding up the batch cycle. Silage aeration allows a moisture reduction of around 2% and an increase in daily throughput of around 25 %. Double gear If both electric and PTO drive are required, dual drive can be selected. The unit can run off the mains and, if required, on the tractor's PTO with an additional generator (Power Pack). Dust extraction system The original Pedrotti dust extraction unit ensures that the grain is extremely clean and the working environment is significantly less dusty. The intensity of the dust extraction is regulated by a special valve, allowing the user to precisely tailor the dust extraction to the specific crop. GSM message transmitter The GSM transmitter informs the operator by SMS to a mobile phone when there is a malfunction in the dryer that makes it impossible to continue the drying cycle or when a certain stage of the treatment process is reached. Heat exchangers Optimised heat transfer resulting in a thermal efficiency of at least 90 %. It is mounted inside the dryer, so it does not increase the size of the unit, and the operating temperature can reach 90-100 °C above ambient temperature. Automatic constant lubrication system The system provides about 400 hours of autonomous operation for PTO-driven machines and about 600 hours for electric machines. The metering and metering devices distribute the pump's lubricant supply in exact proportion to each unit being lubricated.
Pedrotti burners In order to offer the optimum heating unit for the different needs of the end-users, two different models are produced, with different output and fuel consumption. PLC controlled burners The PLC controller allows the burners to operate fully automatically from minimum to maximum power - up to full shutdown and, if necessary, automatic restart. Remote-controlled hydraulic lifting system A powerful hydraulic lift quickly and smoothly lifts the upper part of the central propeller without any additional effort. A limit sensor precisely stops the movement when the parts are in perfect alignment with each other, ensuring smooth operation.
Full automation The system includes automatic shutdown at the end of the drying cycle, automatic start of the discharge via a motor-controlled damper, and start of a new load at the end of the product discharge. Zinc coating Depending on the dryer series, chassis and frames can be supplied with full hot-dip galvanisation as standard or as an option.
