[QUOTE="Haggis, post: 3206782, member: 45302"] We have a 48t opico drier which we currently load with a hopper which holds about 15t. Because of the size of the hopper we are unable to run the drier in full automatic mode, meaning we are losing capacity as the drier stops after every load. I have been trying to come up with a way of feeding the drier to allow us to run the drier in auto mode, so the drier can load itself. I have seen various setups with big twin hoppers and longer augers, however this option looks quite an expensive upgrade. I was wondering if taking an old potato bulker and putting greedy boards on it so it would hold enough to fill the drier through the existing loading auger would work? Has anyone else done anything similar, or come up with any good ways of feeding big batch driers? [/QUOTE]
