AB Akronmaskiner products

Akron has a very long experience in grain drying. This has resulted in a wide range of both batch driers and continuous flow driers.

Akron offers a wide range of own indirect air heaters for both oil, wood chips and pellets. The heaters are designed for optimal production of hot air for grain drying, with high efficiency and sturdy construction. There are also several solutions for direct heating with energy gases, e g natural gas or LPG. For smaller grain driers, a separate furnace with burner can be connected to the existing air inlet.

Akron provides a wide range of internally developed solutions for intake and transport of grain. Products include intake and elevator pits, bucket elevators, tube and trough augers and belt conveyors for very wet material. To augment our own products we also provide transport equipment and accessories from other leading brands.

Akron Type M storage is an entirely self-supporting, modular storage solution where the bins can form the support structure for the roof construction and wall cladding. Since the Type M wall elements can withstand forces from both sides, adjacent bin can be placed with adjoining middle wall. This lowers assembly costs and dirt traps between bins are effectively avoided. The bins are available with hoppers, air sweep floor, air sweep floor with reduced air flow and as flat bins placed directly on the floor.

A grain process plant can today be fully automated according to each customer’s needs and requirements. Most functions can be motorised and monitored remotely. Control of the drying process and the heat source are integrated as components in the main system. The HMI (Human-Machine Interface) is normally based on a graphical representation of the plant, either on a local screen mounted on the control cabinet or in a separate control room, or remotely via laptop, smartphone or tablet. The limits are most often set by imagination or economic feasability rather than technical factors. We can of course deliver manual dampers and outlets instead should you so require.

Akron has more than 20 years experience in manufacturing grain and feed milling plants, hammer and roller mills. Today`s product programme includes the famous Nirvana roller mills and hammer mills, both of which are credited with high digestibility of the final product combined with good milling economy. The Nirvana products are well known for sturdy construction and high reliability and availability. Nirvana was also a pioneer in direct driven diagonal mixing applications.

Akron offers a wide array of solutions for transport of biomass in the form of wood chips and pellets. Augers and belt conveyors offer safe and secure transportation also of wet material. Common for most components is that they are all developed inhouse and optimised for their respective functions. Own development and manufacturing allows special designs for individual installations.
