YOU’VE HEARD THE TALK. There’s a better way to dry grain. It’s called CHILLCURING™ because it means drying without heat. Here’s what the talk is all ' about. THE GRAIN Every kernel of grain is alive when it comes out of the field. It is a seed, able to grow because it has the ability to take on moisture. Likewise, it can be kept in a state, of preservation by ' removing the moisture already in it. But by heating the grain to dry it, the seed life is destroyed. By removing heat and moisture from the grain, it becomes dormant, and stays alive. Then it can ripen to full weight, losing only water while keeping valuable protein, starches and sugar. THE SYSTEM It’s simple. Grain goes from the field right to,the bin. With the unique AIRFRAME’" and AIRFLOOR™ the grain rests on a solid bed that allows maximum ventilation. Clean dry air is the best curing medium for the grain. GRAINLAMPS™ provide electric sunshine, cleaning and drying the air beneath the floor, before it passes through the grain. -Fans force air under the floor. Rising through the gram, this dry outside air carries away moisture and heat. At tbe peak of the bin a jumbo 40” turbine, the WHIRLCOOLER”, puts nature to work for you. Wind and rising air keeps it turning, venting the system naturally. A special HARVESTAT” Control System monitors the curing process. A simple setting cpntrols the GRAINLAMPS” to make best use of free, natural air. THE FACTS Shrinkage factors vary from 1.25% to 1.75% per point of moisture removed. Drying charges have been from 1 to 2<t per point of moisture removed. This cost will only go up. In this comparison, grain moisture is 27%. Commercial Gas-drying for storage.
