Keen to develop the most efficient drying system, they reached out to Agro Équipements Inc. to hire a team of experts including an engineer. Project manager Said Chady supported Michel and Jean-François throughout each phase, from the feasibility study and engineering design to equipment setup.
The drying system includes one Mathews Company (M-C) tower grain dryer with a 16 tonnes/hour capacity, two bucket elevators with a 125 tonnes/hour capacity, a grain conveyor, a conical silo and 12 GSI flat-bottom grain bins. The dryer control panels, elevators and silos were integrated exactly how the Beaudin brothers envisioned. For example, the M-C dryer takes up less space in the drying system and leverages heat recovery to reduce fuel use, which helped slash their propane bills by 30%. The Trax technology also allows them to monitor dryer operation in real time and control the equipment remotely through a mobile device or computer. Ultimately, these cost and travel time savings means a better quality of life for the Beaudin brothers!
