GRAIN RECEIVING, DRYING AND STORING UNIT

FIELD: agricultural equipment. SUBSTANCE: unit has supporting frame, vessel-type storage mounted on frame and composed of two parallel multisectional storages, charging and discharge devices, and heat carrier supply and discharge systems. Vessel-type storage is made in the form of rectangular parallelepiped and divided into adjacent sections. Perforated walls are mounted within each section to define, together with walls of adjacent section and end boundary walls, cavities communicated with heat-carrier supply and discharge systems. Charging device has annular hopper whose annular space is circumferentially divided into discharge sections, each connected with related section through conveyance trough or pipe. Branch pipe is positioned above annular hopper for rotation about hopper axis through predetermined sector for charging grain into related section. Unit is further provided with heat generator and heat carrier distributing line. Heat carrier flow rate is controlled by gate mounted in related section and discharge of heat carrier is regulated by slide valve. Sections are provided with heat carrier supply and discharge unions. EFFECT: high-quality drying and reliable storage of different kinds of cereals delivered from fields during harvesting and having any initial moisture content at different weather conditions, and reduced metal usage and power consumption. 3 cl, 4 dwg, 1 tblt
