A new Mecmar Group FSN 12 F installed by Genesis Agri Ltd in Northern Ireland. Andrew was across to support the commissioning and witness the coring of the grain wall 👀

Pre-harvest checks are critical, getting the tension right on curved conveyors is an art, too tight and it wants to cut the corner. Repairs recently completed in the Scottish Borders by Graeme 😎👍

It’s not been all new shinny Mecmar driers for me this week. This 1990s Mecmar needed a little bit of attention after a mouse 🐁 founds its way into the electric generator !!!!

Tiff proving he has a head for heights, putting the finishing touches to the ducting runs on this tall Skandia Elevator AB #grainhandling #grainstorage

The lads love it when farmers ask them for a photo before they head off to the next job 🤨😅

The spotlight today in the ‘Meet the McArthur BDC Team’ series is on Dan Nutbrown, one of our team of technicians which also includes his dad, Tiff. It’s great to have a father and son in the team! Scunthorpe based, Dan has been with us for two years.

When it was installed they probably thought it would always be ahead of the combine. The rate agricultural technology has changed is incredible. I do like a wooden elevator too. #graindrying #grainstorage #graincleaning

Commissioning week is well underway on this plant in Norfolk. Motors and sensors have been direction checked and run under load. Silo 1 has its first crop inside and today it will be the turn of the Svegma for testing, commissioning and operator training. #completegrainstorage

Adam keeping his eye in with a custom stainless steel tote bin for a rice re-processing line in West Yorkshire (I never realised they grew rice there either) #grainprocessing #kelso #fabrication #workshop

Axial fan balanced and re-installed in the Scottish Borders.

New rotary pre-cleaner installed as part of a continuous flow grain drying system in East Lothian. Not only will this deliver top pre-cleaning results as the farm enters organic conversion, it will also be used for the separation of intercrops too. #graindrying #graincleaning

Its turned a bit catchy, going to be plenty of tonnes heading through intakes in the next couple of weeks. Get stuck, give us a call, 01724 747110 📞

Today it’s the turn of Graeme Shaw in the ‘Meet the McArthur BDC Team’ series. One of our fantastic team of technicians, Graeme has worked for us for almost 2 ½ years, travelling all over the country to install our Mecmar and Svegma driers and Skandia handling equipment.

Grain store breakdown called in the cavalry McArthur BDC

Tiff putting in a big day yesterday swapping this bottom hub on a drier in Warwickshire. Unfortunately lack of greasing was the cause of the breakdown, it happens. These hubs will go forever if you stay on top of the greasing. Check yours this afternoon 🧐👍

British On-Farm Innovation Network (BOFIN) Pulse Pioneer trial was harvested this weekend. Winter beans were getting onto 6ft last year but struggled to make 3ft this year in the neighbouring field…weigh tickets will soon be in and we can start digging into early results!

🚜 Harvest 2025 is in full swing 🌾 We’re busy nationwide—commissioning new grain drying, storage & processing systems, and supporting customers through harvest. #Harvest2025 #GrainStorage #AgEngineering #CustomerSupport

Final clean of wheat after drying. This Skandia Elevator AB DC remover was installed in Kent to give milling wheat an extra polish and reduce the dust in the shed. Grain brake on the inlet gives even flow in the cleaner and a weighted outlet stops air bleeding in the outlet.

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) and Risk Control. The AHDB guide gives a clear, usable introduction to HACCP for stored grain, helping operators evaluate and control physical, chemical, and biological hazards. Download the guide: ahdb.org.uk/grain-storage
