I see $ 50 to $ 75 improved profit per truck load through the elimination of overdrying. During the seasons I have used the PM-LUFT/Tornum Rice Conditioner I have seen just how important relative humidity is the cooling air and how it impacts on my drying. By reducing temperature, I am able to store paddy safely until I have dryer capacity and then by taking advantage of low ambient relative humidity on cold days, dry with no heat. This leads to more uniform moisture content, no overdrying and great savings. Cold air is drying is more uniform, less stressful and far less costly than our traditional way of drying and should become the norm for rice dryers. Quick temperature reduction eliminates insect problem since insects will not be drawn to rice below 60°F. If insects are present in a bin the cooling process will move most of them to the top of the bin where a bit of D.E. will eliminate the problem. Last year insect control cost us $ 24.00. The direct and indirect benefits of the PM-LUFT/Tornum Rice Conditioner have made this an exceptional investment that will yield benefits far into the future.
