Grain Dryer Design Diagram

Grain Exchanger

Temperature sensor located above burner to show correct temperature, not hidden in a cool spot like most other dryers claiming 180 degrees F. plenum temperatures and giving 260 degree F. temperatures.

Downstream Ultra High Efficiency Biomass Burner

New, high CFM/watt Heat Fans

Positive air flow in Cooling Section, using quiet inline centrifugal fan,

prevents screens from blinding over with foreign material. This maintains capacity and reduces maintenance time. Heating in cooling section available. Sleep in peace with no high pitch noise.

Self-cleaning Cooling Section with screen next to centrifugal fan and Milo Rack (see page 10) for virtually no cleaning!

Quick discharge emergency dump slides reduce insurance rates up to 10% and allow fast emptying in case of emergency.

Gentle Metering Pan Discharge

Other features not displayed in diagram:

· Draft switch, high plenum light switch, flame sensor and igniter are factory installed.

· Self-cleaning plenum avoids trash buildup, which reduces maintenance and downtime.

· Oil impregnated wood bearings in screw conveyor to prevent greasing maintenance.

Optional large garner bin for on/off filling (required for Rice Dryer).

Large open louvers in exhaust section prevent capacity losses and help keep screens clean by allowing the moisture to get away from the dryer before condensing.

All Exhaust Screens made from stainless steel. Pressure wash and have full capacity 20 years later. Designed for the best air flow and structural integrity.

Plenum and louver access platforms included. (see pictures)

Strong structural 2” x 2” x 1/8” square structural tubing vertical welded support frames that use galvanized horizontals with a 55 degree cleaning slope. Dryer is designed for 135 MPH straight wind loading, 150 MPH option & earthquake protection requiring minor concrete and anchoring changes.

Lift point surrounded by square structural tubing with lifting apparatus in hardware box.

Heat Recycling Enclosure—Now with optional foil faced insulation.

Moisture Sensor controls the high limit moisture.
