[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 6520346, member: 2119"] Yes, there are certain interlocks between our starters which are intended to prevent damage. You can't run the bed unless the discharge auger is running. Fine for normal operation but a pain if you are just cleaning out the last few grains. I had thought of fitting a simple automatic emergency shutdown system but never got round to it. The weakness with our system is that the elevator that takes grain away from the drier can't cope with the maximum output of the drier. It needs a light sensor in the output hopper so that when grain starts backing up it trips the discharge auger and drier bed motor. This would save considerable frustration though at the moment i have set a limit on the variable speed drive handle to limit the bed speed to the flow that can be managed by the elevator. Dad was pretty good at firing up before he'd actually opened the weather door on the exhaust side of the output fans. Blew it off once. Took his eyebrows a while to grow back as well. [/QUOTE]
