AGREX Case Study

The Hawthorns Estate farm is a fourth-generation family business, trading as R.N. Padfield & Sons.  In 2005, Chris Padfield took over from his father, Richard,  launching collaborative ventures with local farmers on cattle and arable enterprises.

The farm has changed and developed over the past 113 years to meet changing economic, social and political pressures.  The estate celebrates and shares a commitment to modern, conservation-minded farming and uses methods such as direct drilling and variable rate application technologies.

The Hawthorns Estate has worked with local farmers to develop a grain storage service for those who cannot store all their own grain or who want to clean or dry grain and don’t have modern facilities. It enables those who want to take advantage of pooled marketing strategies or want space for storage of speciality crops such as beans or linseed. The Hawthorns has established partnerships for selling the stored cereals with two national grain merchants.

In 2017 when the grain drying and storage system was implemented the farm purchased their first Agrex Dryer, a 20T model. To keep pace with demand, after a year this was upgraded to an AGD45, a 34T model with PLC control and full automation to enable bigger batches to be dried and unattended operation.

The Dryer has a 1.5mm mesh so that oil seed rape and all usual combinable crops can be dried. It has a direct fired diesel burner and it is filled and emptied by 100tph handling equipment and there are 2 hopper bins for wet storage.

Chris Padfield says “ The Dryer has been straightforward to operate and has not needed any mechanical work to be carried out during it’s lifetime at the farm, the benefit of the automatic control is the ability to run unattended.”

“We are pleased to know that Perry and Thorburn are representing AGREX Dryers and have a stock of spare parts and service assistance should we need it so that gives us peace of mind during the harvest period.”

David Perry, MD of Perry Engineering says “We are very pleased to have met Chris and seen his operation and we are equally pleased to see that the Dryer is in very good condition after these years and to have had a good report on its operation and reliability from Chris. It confirms that the AGREX Dryers are not new to the UK market and work well in UK conditions”

”it’s great to be working with another Dryer manufacturer who makes the majority of their parts in house and are willing to tailor a product to suit the market needs. Working with Thorburn Group on this project brings years of mobile Dryer experience to combine with our decades of grain drying and handling experience which is so valuable and really means that all parties can hit the ground running.”
