Grain drying is a critical step in the post-harvest process. This article systematically examines post-harvest grain drying technologies and key control methods, with a focus on the drying processes and equipment selection for the three major staple grains: corn, rice, and wheat. It presents various drying methods and equipment, detailing their application scenarios and cost ranges, while emphasizing the importance of precise temperature and humidity control to maintain grain quality. Additionally, moisture measurement techniques are discussed. The article also highlights advancements in green and energy-efficient technologies, such as the use of clean energy and intelligent systems, to promote low-carbon and efficient drying practices. Further exploration of standardized drying processes and energy optimization is essential to support global food security and sustainable development.
