26 NEWS APRIL 2019 Cimbria to supply state-of-the-art drying technology For customers, gentle and uniform drying with optimum energy consumption are essential, in addition to a high le- vel of automation and remote control, low dust emission and low noise levels. These requirements are augmented by demands for high reliability and availability, as the dryer has to operate without interruption during the harvest and drying season. Cimbria has won the order of two big projects for Lant- männen in Sweden consisting of intake, pre-cleaning, dr- ying and storage for new grain terminals. Both plants will have new ECO-Logic continuous flow dryers, which rep- resent the absolute state-of-the-art in terms of current te- chnology. In addition to the drying process, both projects are designed for reception and storage of various grains. The first project is in Hargshamn in Uppsala, north of Sto- ckholm. The second project is for installation in Hammen- hög, close to Ystad in southern Sweden. In Hammenhög, in particular, the plant will carry out fine cleaning of malt grain outside the harvest season. Mechanical installation com- menced at the beginning of February 2019 and is scheduled to be finished at the end of June 2019, with performance tests and training of operational personnel due to be carried out during the 2019 harvest. The newly developed continuous flow ECO-Logic dryers are equipped with the latest generation of automatic ope- ration control and process control, as this is an essential part of the drying process. In addition, variable heat recovery of dry air and dust extraction are performed in integrated tangentially-acting dust separator Dust Guards. The two dryers are not heated by fossil fuels such as oil and gas. The first dryer for the Hargshamn project is heated with direct electrical heating, whilst the second dryer for the Hammenhög plant is heated with water from a boiler plant fired with renewable fuel. The electrical heating method, in particular, has many advantages, not least in terms of re- Cimbria has won the order of two big projects for Lantmännen in Sweden consisting of intake, pre-cleaning, drying and storage for new grain termi- nals.
