Rapid drying, in particular, may result in decreased seed viability and vigour. When it comes to storing seeds, temperature and humidity control is extremely important. If the seeds are exposed to high humidity levels, they will start to germinate due to their living nature. The amount of moisture present in the seeds affects both the quality and storability of the seeds during long term storage. Seeds dried prior to storage can also regain moisture and suffer damage if not stored under controlled conditions. If improperly dried seeds suffer from major retarding effects. These are: - ### Loss of viability - ### Discolouration - ### Toxin production - ### Growth of fungus ### Proper drying limits the subsequent rate of seed deterioration during long term storage. ###### BENEFITS OF DESICCANT BASED SEED TECHNOLOGY FOR SEED DRYING AND STORAGE ![higher-moisture-removal-capacity](https://campaigns.bryair.com/hubfs/Landing-Pages/Seed%20Drying%20and%20Seed%20Storage/higher-moisture-removal-capacity.jpg) ### Higher Moisture Removal Capacity The Bry-Air Seed Dryer has a higher moisture removal capacity and higher drying capacity compared to conventional seed dryers. It provides an efficient, user-friendly and economical solution to the drying problems faced by seed processors. ![critical-seed-storage-area](https://campaigns.bryair.com/hubfs/Landing-Pages/Seed%20Drying%20and%20Seed%20Storage/critical-seed-storage-area.jpg) ### Precisely control relative humidity levels in the critical seed storage area Bry-Air’s carefully engineered design allows you to precisely control relative humidity levels in the critical seed storage area which preserve seeds without affecting their quality. It also removes the variable of weather as a factor while retaining germination viability. ![seed-drying-and-packaging](https://campaigns.bryair.com/hubfs/Landing-Pages/Seed%20Drying%20and%20Seed%20Storage/seed-drying-and-packaging.jpg) ### Avoid Costly Re-Packaging Since Bry-Air desiccant dehumidifiers prevent moisture regain, there is no need to invest time and money to repackage seeds in vapour-tight bags. Producers can save thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours annually. ![safe-cold-storage](https://campaigns.bryair.com/hubfs/Landing-Pages/Seed%20Drying%20and%20Seed%20Storage/safe-cold-storage.jpg) ### Ensure Safe Cold Storage Seeds last longer at low temperatures. Because Bry-Air desiccant dehumidifiers work equally well at high and low temperatures, one can store seeds at any temperature without having to worry about high humidity. ![seed-drying-extended-storage-life](https://campaigns.bryair.com/hubfs/Landing-Pages/Seed%20Drying%20and%20Seed%20Storage/seed-drying-extended-storage-life.jpg) ### Extended Storage Life The air is maintained at a lower moisture level by using state of the art desiccant dehumidification technology. This technology helps extend the shelf life of Seeds. When correctly stored, the seeds can last anywhere between 2-3 years, up to 20 years, depending on the breed or type of origin. ![seed-drying-energy-efficient](https://campaigns.bryair.com/hubfs/Landing-Pages/Seed%20Drying%20and%20Seed%20Storage/seed-drying-energy-efficient.jpg) ### More Reliable and Energy Efficient These seed dryers are based on state-of-the-art technology and incorporate a unique air distribution pattern through the trays to optimize drying capacity and time. Bry-Air dehumidifiers allow for low-temperature capability when removing humidity from a storage space, which is much more energy-efficient than heating the space. ## ![drop_icon](https://campaigns.bryair.com/hubfs/Landing-Pages/R3-Cold-Store/drop_icon.png) Moisture is your hidden enemy **THREE IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT DETERMINE THE SHELF-LIFE OF SEEDS:** - Storage Temperature - Relative Humidity of surrounding air - The Moisture Content of the seed during storage Generally, drying seeds to 4-6% moisture content on a wet basis decelerates seed deterioration rate exorbitantly. ### Best Seed Drying Technology to Date Bry-Air Seed Dryers are based on the state-of-the-art Desiccant Dehumidification Technology. They are extensively used by commercial plant breeding organisations, leading seed processors worldwide, including the FAO. These seed dryers incorporate a unique air distribution pattern through the trays to optimise drying capacity and time. The Bry-Air Seed Dryers provide a consistent and controlled environment to ensure a constant drying rate. Dry and save seeds in a fraction of the time and preserve them for years.  ![FFB-Operating-Principle-2](https://campaigns.bryair.com/hubfs/Landing-Pages/Seed%20Drying%20and%20Seed%20Storage/FFB-Operating-Principle-2.jpg) ### Dry seeds without affecting their quality The Bry-Air Seed Dryer is a high-capacity, low power, compact dryer. It is designed to maintain the air at a lower moisture level and increases the drying potential, drying rate and preserve seeds without affecting their quality. ![Bry-Air Minipac image18oct send finalized](https://campaigns.bryair.com/hubfs/Bry-Air%20Minipac%20image18oct%20send%20finalized.png) some of our ###### Prestigious customers worldwide ![Adventz](https://campaigns.bryair.com/hubfs/Adventz.jpg) ![Rasi Seeds](https://campaigns.bryair.com/hubfs/Rasi.jpg) ![Bayer](https://campaigns.bryair.com/hubfs/Bayer.jpg) ![FAO](https://campaigns.bryair.com/hubfs/FAO.jpg) ![Syngenta](https://campaigns.bryair.com/hubfs/Syngenta.jpg) ![Taaki](https://campaigns.bryair.com/hubfs/Taaki.jpg) ![Department-of-Horticulture](https://campaigns.bryair.com/hubfs/Department-of-Horticulture.jpg) ![Mahyco](https://campaigns.bryair.com/hubfs/Mahyco.jpg) ![ICAR](https://campaigns.bryair.com/hubfs/ICAR.jpg) © Bry-Air (Asia) Pvt.
