KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, US — This slideshow is devoted to grain and milling technology offered by North American and South American suppliers to the international market.
Learn about products, technology and recent projects from the following advertisers who appeared in the July issue of World Grain.
The Argentinean company Ingenieria Mega S.A., has designed the Mega mixed airflow grain drying system which combines the advantages of column and trestle design. It air columns have no in-between floors, which helps avoid product accumulation and decreases the likelihood of overheating events.
The benefits of this design are highly valued by different projects all over the world including cereals and oilseeds, coffee and rice of different industrial purposes.

With over 40 years of experience, its equipment provides continuous, reliable readings with zero maintenance, a one-time calibration with a non-drift optical design that allows operational personnel to confidently make line adjustments based on real-time measurements.
Connected directly to a PLC if desired, a moisture control system creates a closed loop process within your facility. Fluctuating moisture levels can cause significant changes to the quality of various types of manufactured products. These inconsistencies mean the final product will have varying quality levels depending where in production they were created.
Near-infrared technology is the best solution to accurately measure the moisture levels of multiple applications, offering a solution that meets all quality control factors. Accurately detecting moisture levels frequently throughout the process allows for line adjustments as needed that improve the overall functionality and efficiency of the facility.
