Trouble-Dry
Grain Cooling Spears

A pair of trouble dry grain cooling spears

Grain cooling spears have an important part to play in a professional crop storage system. Hot grain quickly deteriorates and can heat up without warning; cool grain keeps safely.

Trouble-Dry grain cooling spears are a simple solution to the common problem of hot spots in stored crops. They are ideal for cooling small quantities of grain, urgent spot drying and controlling unexpected insect infestations.

Trouble-Dry aeration spears and fans cure the problem before it gets serious – simply screw the spear into the hot spot and suck the heat out.
