; AIR RECYCLING EXCLUSIVE FEATURES AIR RECYCLING, uses all the warm air from the coolinf bin to help dry the grain in the drying bin. (no energy is wasted] NO HEAT LOSS, In most dryers, heal passes through a narrow column of grain and is blown into the at mosphere; but with this system all excess heat from drying stage must pass up through a 24” minimum depth of wet grain. Therefore, instead of wasting the heat, it is used in the preheating process. PREHEATING, grain is not suddenly exposed to high heat like in most dryers, but rather is slowly preheated as it moves down to the final drying stage. This reduces drying stress and produces better grain quality. NO STIRRING, which means less moving parts and less grain damage.
