A small maize dryer will help you to reduce the moisture content of your crop and sell it at higher prices. It is ideal for smaller and medium-sized farms.
In addition to the main building, you will also find buildings in the package that allow you to sell the dried maize.
>Small Corn Dryer:
-Price: 21390$
-Daily maintenance: 20$
-Capacity: 15000 L of wet maize
-Production cost (1 hour): 235$
[WHAT IS THE PROCESS AND COST-EFFECTIVENESS OF THE DRYER?]
To dry an entire tank of wet maize (15,000L), the dryer requires 6 hours of operation.
At maximum use (4 cycles), your daily production costs will be a maximum of €2,000.
After drying one tank (due to weight loss) you gain 12,900L of dry maize.
Let's compare the maximum wet and dry maize prices and the potential profit.
>Wet maize - MAXIMUM 900$ / 1000L
>Dry maize - MAXIMUM 1600$ / 1000L
Assuming you dry 51,600L of maize at maximum daily use, you will be able to earn around €80,560 from it in the best period (after deducting production costs)
Selling wet maize (at 60,000L - no losses) you would have an income in the region of €54,000 in the best sales period.
This shows that drying maize can bring you up to 50% more profit compared to regular maize.
