Drying wet seed corn can be tricky. Excess heat, uneven airflow, temperature swings, and manual handling can all damage your seed. O’Mara Bulk Seed Corn Production Dryers deliver uniform airflow, gentle drying, and automated control, protecting seed quality while reducing energy use and labor.
Designed and manufactured in-house, our systems combine proven airflow engineering with advanced automation so you can focus on harvest success, not equipment maintenance.
Our proprietary Single-Point Reversing Air Door system (manual or automated) safely reverses airflow even while fans are running, improving moisture uniformity, reducing fuel consumption, and protecting seed integrity.

A production dryer is a high-capacity system that removes moisture from freshly harvested seed ears (typically down to 10–13%) to preserve viability and genetic potential.
Unlike standard grain dryers, these systems use controlled heat, deep-bed airflow, and staged drying to protect the seed embryo while accelerating moisture removal.
Heated air, powered by natural gas, propane, or fuel oil, is forced through the seed using industrial fans, delivering consistent temperature and velocity across the entire bin.
Water migrates from inside the kernels into the airflow and is exhausted efficiently, minimizing shrinkage, cracking, and spoilage.
O’Mara dryers incorporate advanced airflow engineering to improve consistency and efficiency:
These design features reduce common air handling issues and ensure more consistent drying across every load.
Airflow is reversed mid-cycle to reduce moisture variation across the grain bin and improve energy efficiency.
Heated air passes through drier seed first, then through wetter seed before exhausting. This allows the air to absorb more moisture before exiting, improving drying efficiency and reducing fuel costs.
Benefits include:
Modern systems offer advanced automation for precision and labor savings:
Fully automated systems can manage filling, drying, and airflow reversal, giving operators complete control over quality and performance.
These dryers are perfect for high-volume seed corn operations.
Reduce labor and improve safety.
Built by seed drying experts, O’Mara systems are engineered for reliability, efficiency, and long-term performance:
