79 ARTICLE MILLER / september 2021 no change over the storage time. The result is that adjust- ing of milling equipment is reduced by processing chilled grain. The spared time leads directly into reduced process- ing time, which increases the efficiency of the process. Conclusion Grain cooling is a comprehensive solution for post- harvest management and conservation of a grain bulk. It brings benefits which keep quantity, quality and the processing of a grain in the most economic condition. Its implementation in the warm and humid climates will lead to essential improvement of grain handling, loss reduction and good management practice, which has been proven in moderate climate already for more than 50 years (Kolb, 2013).
