Trouble-Dry Spears

Fast localised cooling and spot drying

Trouble-Dry hot spot aeration spears and fans 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 aeration spears and fans 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.
