Grain Dryer set up

[OLT]

Looking for photos/ideas of other peoples grain drying set ups. We currently run two master batch driers alongside an 8t/hr continuous flow and feel we need to move towards a higher capacity system which is less labour and machinery intensive.
So please post about your current set ups with what works well and things which don't work so well.
cheers!

We built 2 large stores with drying floors. In one we used a biomass system and in the other traditional gas burners. The biomass system is by far the better system to have and with the RHI its a no brainer.
I guess your not looking at a drying floor setup but I'm sure biomass systems are incorporated into continuous flow systems in scotland. There was an article about this a few years ago in the farmers weekly i think...

we're looking for more of a high output continuous flow but that's interesting about the biomass, one way of saving a bit extra dollar.

In a previous set up I used a mobile and 6 ton continuous drier with the mobile doing most of the drying then emptying the grain still hot in to intake pit and the continuous running at full speed taking out the last little bit and cooling . It also left a very clean sample
If grain was wet just slowed continuous to do a bit more work , It was a good way to get the best out of both

Possibly too old for what you are looking for, but have this 20 ton Svegma available
