Carrying on from our smallest grain dryer to our largest so far is our 200 tonne model fully insulted and cladded and weather roof ( all our dryers are done this way)with virtually no heat loss as opposed to uninsulated
dryers, the hot air plenum alone has a surface area of 311 square meters just imagine the heat loss. Along with our fans are all inverter controlled to maximise efficiency. It has two intake pits each holding
330 tonnes and drying 45 artic trailers of malting Barley ranging from 21-17 % down to 12.5% per day without the need of a nightshift and a hot air temperature of 50 to 55 deg C we keep the drying speed constant
and increase the heat by a couple of degrees instead of slowing dryer down for wetter grain. the pictures you see are us building up dryer, all suited and booted and our fully automatic 70 motor control centre
tailored to fit inside portacabin.
