Crop Drying

In order to accelerate crop drying processes, our portable heaters are often used to provide additional warm air or replace broken down heating systems. Air drying is obviously a lot more efficient when heaters are used to assist and this helps to speed up water removal by evaporation. By utilising a heating unit, the practise of drying is much quicker than if produce was allowed to dry naturally.

At Andrews Heat for Hire we aim to keep farms operating at full capacity and prevent any aspect of its running from dropping below normal output levels. Crop drying is one of the most energy- intensive procedures that occur in this environment, so we understand the importance of having a reliable and continued heat source.
