Mobile Drying for
Monsoon Harvest
A rice mill cooperative in Bangladesh deployed GXON G-MR Series mobile dryers to protect monsoon-season paddy when open-sun drying fails. Rapid setup and multi-fuel capability let smallholder groups dry at the point of harvest — protecting grain that would otherwise spoil within 48 hours.
When the Monsoon Meets the Harvest
South Asia's monsoon season aligns with the rice harvest — high humidity and frequent rainfall make traditional sun drying impossible.
A Cooperative Under Monsoon Pressure
A rice mill cooperative in the Bangladesh delta aggregates paddy from smallholder member-farmers across multiple villages. During the monsoon harvest window, freshly cut paddy arrives at collection points with moisture content well above the safe storage threshold.
Without mechanical drying, grain left in these conditions begins to sprout, ferment, or develop mold and aflatoxin within 48 hours. Smallholders lose a significant share of their harvest every season — and are forced to sell immediately at low prices rather than risk storage.
No Fixed Infrastructure, No Time to Wait
The cooperative lacks capital for a fixed drying plant and needs drying capacity at multiple dispersed collection points. A mobile solution that can be towed between villages and set up quickly is the only viable option for protecting the monsoon harvest.
Engineered for Rapid Deployment
Three core components configured for mobile monsoon-season rice drying: towable batch dryer, multi-fuel burner, and PLC auto-control.
From Survey to First Batch
Four engineering stages to deploy mobile drying across a dispersed cooperative network.
