Vaporizer, solenoids and pipes often needed replacing

Analysis of grain dryer inspection reports for 2025 has highlighted the three parts most frequently recommended for replacement:

  1. Vaporizer, a critical component that applies heat to the liquid propane, forcing it to boil and transform into a combustible gas before it reaches the burner.
  2. Gas solenoid, an electrical component to regulate the flow of fuel to the burner in conjunction with the main control panel.
  3. Gas hoses, repeatedly picked up as a potential leak risk due to wear and tear.

Regular maintenance is essential to making sure your grain dryer is reliable during harvest, so Book online here, or call 01746 762 777 and ask for Andrew Unitt.

Originally developed for pig production, the Skiold Transpork system is a cable‑and‑disc dry feeding solution that is attracting interest for a range of industries. Danagri‑3S has recently installed, and had enquiries about the system from not only pig units, but also poultry operations, brewing facilities, and for handling materials such as grass seed and pellets.

Skiold Transpork operates with pipes arranged in a circuit. Inside the pipe runs a cable fitted with evenly spaced discs that move material at capacities from 300 to 2,100 kg per hour — a significant increase compared with traditional dry feeding systems.

The cable is coated with a rubber alloy to create a neutral, non‑drying environment between the discs. This results in a strong yet supple chain that can navigate corners and drive units smoothly, while minimising wear and eliminating the risk of frayed material entering the feed.

Transpork corners are manufactured from hard‑wearing plastic and can be positioned horizontally, vertically, or on an incline. The overall system offers high capacity, flexible installation options, and proven reliability.

Danagri‑3S was delighted to be among the 800 exhibitors at this year’s LAMMA Show, which attracted more than 45,000 visitors—the highest attendance in the event’s 44‑year history. One of the most talked about additions was the new Dairy & Beef Hub, giving livestock farmers direct access to specialist suppliers, practical demonstrations, and technical insights.

It was a pleasure to welcome so many to our stand in Hall 9 where our team spoke with farmers, particularly from the West, looking to manage costs by milling, cleaning, and mixing their own product. With feed one of the largest expenses in livestock production, farmers are exploring their own processing to reduce reliance on bought‑in rations and control over quality.

If you’re considering milling, cleaning, or mixing on farm, Danagri‑3S can support.

Danagri-3S is pleased to announce a significant new installation at a leading poultry farm in Herefordshire, designed to modernize on-site feed production and dramatically increase storage capabilities.

The heart of the expansion involves integrating high-volume storage within the existing grain shed. The installation includes:

    • One 600-tonne round silo for primary bulk grain storage.
    • Six BM square silos, each with a 35-tonne capacity, specifically for finished feed and designed to eliminates "dead space," allowing for maximum storage volume within the footprint. The bolt-together galvanized panels make them easy to install in tight spaces and allow for future expansion
