ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an apparatus and process for drying grains in situ immediately after harvesting without having to remove the moisture-containing grain from the truck or bin in which it was collected in the field during harvest. Perforated duct means are located longitudinally throughout the bin near the substantially air impervious floor of the bin, and this, in conjunction with perforated side panels within the bin, allows for heated air under pressure within the duct to be forced laterally outwardly through the grain and through the perforated side panels wherein the moisture-containing hot air is then allowed to exit upwardly through a flue space defined by the perforated side panels and the normal side panels of the bin or the like.
