Drying OSR in Alvan Blanch double flow?

[eagleye]

We have an old double flow alvan blanch grain drier and need to dry some oilseed rape, what do i need to do to the drier?
Think it involves reducing airflow?, altering baffles inside? reduce temperature, bed depth?
Have old handbook but nothing beats someone with first hand experience of doing it themselves
any help much appreciated'

On my DF2200 just finishing drying.
Heat 50 depth, 6 inches deep drying from 12% to 8% at around half bed speed.
Baffle the cold fan a bit, not had to shut hot fan much.
Once the bed is full and running you can try opening fans but if you get a gap it will blow out the back.
Trick is to get the bed full and keep it like that as it does like to blow out!
I have dried 1000s of tons over the years. Quite like it as it is quiet in the elevators and not dusty.

Thanks T C, just spoken to friend who had one and now has new DF, he had to baffle hot fan on it more than cold fan (new drier last year). There is a baffle the burner blows against and a box on the side with a flap which takes hot air to the bottom before cooling - do i need to do anything to them?
