The invention discloses drying systems and drying processes, particularly designed to efficiently dry grains. The grain drying system of the invention comprises a machine consisting of a drying rotor characterized by containing thermal panels and having an efficient design that allows air circulation. Alternatively, the grain drying system is consisting of a drying rotor comprising thermal panels and an efficient air circulation system, together with a vacuum rest rotor for the grains. The invention also relates to a grain drying process comprising a stage in a drying rotor consisting of thermal panels and an efficient air circulation system, and optionally a second vacuum rest stage in a vacuum rest rotor, where the first and second stages alternate one, two, three or more times as required. In general, the systems and processes disclosed in the invention involve elements and stages that allow the grain to be dried by controlled heating of the grain by exposure to electromagnetic radiation and efficient air flow, or through multiple stages that comprise controlled heating of the grain by exposure to electromagnetic radiation and efficient air flow, the rest of the grains under vacuum, and a new stage of controlled heating of the grain by exposure to electromagnetic radiation and efficient air flow thus achieving high efficiency in drying times without altering the structure of the grains and without generating polluting emissions, since the system does not require fossil fuels for its operation.

A method for the thermal treatment of bulk materials in a rotary tube with at least one infrared light unit. Bulk material is introduced into the rotary tube, which is provided on its inner wall with at least one mixing element and in the interior space of which the pressure of the ambient atmosphere prevails. A heat treatment of the bulk material is performed by at least one electrical infrared light unit, which is arranged at the center of the rotary tube and the light cone of which is directed onto the bed of bulk material that lies on the inner wall of the rotary tube. The bulk material is discharged from the rotary tube. Water vapor is directed onto the surface of the bulk material. The vapor is introduced into the interior space of the rotary tube through a nozzle tube.
