The AGI Milltec Raw Paddy Dryer (RPD) is your ideal solution for efficient and effective paddy drying. Drying is a critical post-harvest operation that reduces grain moisture content to a level safe for storage, ensuring the preservation of rice quality. Delayed or incomplete drying can lead to compromised grain quality and significant product losses.
Our Raw Paddy Dryer is engineered to simplify and enhance this crucial process. It operates without the need for an external boiler, making it a versatile solution for various paddy grains. Equipped with temperature monitoring and control systems, a hot air blower, and a digital temperature controller, it ensures precise drying. What sets this system apart is its ability to run on husk, firewood, or biomass, providing you with flexibility in choosing your energy source.

Why proper drying matters:
Raw paddy should never be stored with a moisture content exceeding 18%. Higher moisture levels can attract bacteria, leading to paddy damage and significant losses. A 2% damage rate on a 3,000 metric ton stockpile can result in a loss of 60 metric tons per season, translating to 12 lakhs per annum at a rate of Rs. 20,000 per metric ton.
