Economical operation of malt kilns.Peer-reviewed article

V. VLČEK, J. VLČEK

When pale malt of the so called Plzeň type is to be dried in doublefloor kilns, the process should last 2 x 24 hours without agitating malt on the upper floor. On the Loir floor moderate agitation should be introduced at finishing temperatures in the closing stage of the process. The suggested method secures optimim economical results. The relative humidity of outgoing air must be close to 100 % and its temperature must not exceed values indicated for given drying conditions in the tables. In the described process the upper floor serves for 12 hours as a predrying stage.
