What is the Grain Drying Cost Calculator?
Mechanical dryers help you sell or store grain safely, but they use fuel and power. Knowing the drying cost per quintal helps you decide if drying is worth it, or what to charge for drying service.
Enter the grain weight, moisture now and target moisture. Pick your fuel and its price, dryer efficiency, water removal rate and blower power. We calculate the water to remove, heat and fuel needed, drying time and the total cost per quintal of dry grain.
