Humidity control and drying for grain and crop storage: FAQs

Why are dehumidifiers important for drying grain silos and crop storage containers?

When large amounts of moisture are present in the air, the condition of your grain, crops and wider produce can rapidly decline. To keep your agricultural products safe from mould and deterioration, it is important to deploy dehumidifiers in and around your storage containers and silos.

In doing so, you not only safeguard the hygiene of your infrastructure, you lay the foundation for your installations to lead a long service life – minimising the cost and disruption involved in keeping your goods stored.

As a manufacturer with decades of dedicated expertise in agriculture climate control, we can ensure you receive the ideal dehumidification solution for your needs. Speak to our expert team today to get started.

How do your dehumidifiers and dryers work in silos and storage containers?

The industrial desiccant dehumidifiers and dryers we supply work by drawing damp air through a slowly rotating silica gel rotor. These absorptive materials attract moisture from the air, delivering efficient drying inside silos and storage containers of any type or size.

Alternatively, our condensation units draw damp air inside your silos and containers across a refrigerated surface. This condenses the air inside our units, capturing the water vapour before exhausting dry air back into the environment.

What types of dehumidifiers are best suited for silos and storage containers?

To maintain the optimum climate in your agricultural grain silos and crop storage containers, we recommend using capable dehumidifiers or industrial dryers.

We also advise using humidity measuring devices and moisture meters to accurately track the conditions inside your storage containers.

Talk to our experts to discuss your farm’s exact storage requirements, and we can ensure you are supplied with the ideal solution.

How can high humidity levels affect the grains and crops in storage?

When moisture infiltrates your grain stores or crop containers:

  • Crops can rot and spoil

  • Mould and fungi can grow

  • Grains can clump together and cake

  • Insects can be attracted inside 

Where should dehumidifiers be placed in a silo or storage container?

Dehumidifiers are often placed outside of agricultural storage structures and ducted in. This leaves plenty of room for crops, while also preventing condensation, mould growth and corrosion long term.

Can dehumidifiers prevent mould growth in silos and storage containers?

Yes, dehumidifiers prevent mould growth by maintaining dry air flow inside your storage containers and silos. This makes it impossible for mould and mildew to grow and infiltrate your grains or crops.

How quickly can dehumidifiers dry a silo or storage container?

After a silo or storage container is cleaned, the leftover moisture must be dealt with to prevent it infiltrating your produce or damaging the structural integrity of your containers. The time it takes for a dehumidifier to do this will depend on a variety of factors, such as:

  • The size of a silo or container

  • The humidity levels inside your structures

  • The drying capacity of your chosen dehumidifier(s)

  • The outside climate

Do you sell energy-efficient dehumidifiers for drying agricultural silos and containers?

Yes, our range of high-performance dehumidification systems are some of the most efficient solutions on the market.

Combining decades of expertise, high-quality components, and a steadfast commitment to European engineering, the solutions we supply enable farms to maintain the ideal humidity conditions inside their storage containers and silos in the most cost-effective way possible.

What maintenance is required for dehumidifiers in silos and storage containers?

The maintenance requirements of your dehumidifiers can change, depending on how often your systems are used, the amount of water vapour your systems handle, and the climate they operate in. As such, we recommend following the service recommendations referenced in your units’ instruction manuals.

Can dehumidifiers protect against corrosion in metal silos and storage containers?

Yes. By physically capturing excess moisture inside your silos and storage containers, you can prevent condensation from forming and corrosion occurring in the long term.

Can I buy your dehumidifiers for my agricultural grain and crop storage online?

We don’t make our commercial dehumidifiers available to purchase online to ensure that every system we design, manufacture and supply fits your exact requirements. By taking a consultative approach with a highly-trained expert, we make sure that you are only recommended equipment that meets your needs – and fulfils these in the most efficient, cost-effective way possible.

Across all of our products, VAT-registered companies can get a quote very quickly by pressing 'I want to buy' and inserting your enquiry and contact details.

How soon can you supply your moisture control systems to my farm?

This varies on a case-by-case basis. For some standard products, accessories and consumables, we can provide day-to-day delivery. For larger orders or more bespoke dehumidifiers, there may be a longer lead time.

By reaching out to our experts we can put you in touch with your nearest local supplier so you can receive the products you require in the most timely manner possible.

Do you sell your commercial humidity control to private consumers?

No. Dantherm Group’s range of humidity control systems are only sold to industry professionals directly from our offices, or via our extensive network of distributors.
