Turnkey drying solutions engineered for performance, reliability, and efficiency.
At O’Mara, we design and build high-performance seed drying systems tailored to your operation—from small-batch research dryers to large-scale production dryers for corn, soybeans, and specialty crops. With decades of experience serving the seed industry, our in-house engineering and manufacturing teams ensure every system we deliver is optimized for throughput, energy efficiency, and product quality.
We don’t just build seed dryers. We build complete systems designed to improve drying consistency, reduce labor, and protect your seed investment.
Engineered for uniform drying, reduced downtime, and maximum efficiency.
Drying wet ear corn presents unique challenges—uneven airflow, batch handling, and temperature fluctuations, to name a few. O’Mara’s production dryers are engineered to eliminate those issues. Our proprietary single-point reversing air door system ensures consistent airflow from top to bottom, improving dry-down rates and product integrity while minimizing gas consumption.
With options like fully automated air reversal and autonomous tripper fill systems, our dryers reduce manual labor, enhance safety, and keep your harvest moving. Heavy-duty components throughout mean you spend less time maintaining equipment and more time running it.
Available turnkey services include layout planning, erection, startup, and full system integration.
Modular, stackable, and designed for precision.
Our small-batch seed drying systems are built for versatility. Whether you’re working with seed corn, beans, flower seeds, or hemp, O’Mara research dryers provide precise temperature control and airflow regulation in a compact, stackable format. Each weather-tight tote box is built from heavy-gauge steel and features fork pockets for easy handling.
The burner blower unit is a fully integrated skid with fan, burner, gas valve train, and control panel, delivering consistent performance in a mobile, space-saving design.
These systems are ideal for pilot programs, product testing, and operations needing flexible, batch-based drying solutions.
Safer, faster air reversal without shutting down.
At the core of every O’Mara production dryer is our single-point reversing air door, an industry-exclusive system that allows for full airflow reversal at the push of a button—while fans are running. This reduces thermal stress on the seed, promotes more uniform drying of the batch, prevents cross-contamination between loads, and eliminates the need to shut down equipment to switch air direction.
Designed with operator safety and system efficiency in mind, this innovation keeps your drying process moving, clean, and consistent.
Precision heating. Minimal footprint. Built for performance.
O’Mara burner-blower systems provide the heat and airflow your drying process demands, all in a compact, easy-to-install package. Each unit comes preassembled and ready for gas and electrical hookup, reducing install time and labor costs.
Whether part of a full drying system or paired with our stackable tote boxes, these units deliver powerful, open-flame heating with precise temperature control for a wide range of seed and grain products.
Whether you’re scaling up production or fine-tuning a research operation, we’ll work with you to design a drying system that fits your needs, your space, and your workflow.
