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%.

Harvestall’s GRAIN CHILLCURING™ process
removes only water, not valuable protein, starch
and sugar. So shrinkage is only .06% compared
with 1.35% using heat. You keep perfect quality
grain at 1 5.5% moisture.
CHILLCURING™ is right for grain. And right for
you. The CHILLCURING™ System pays for itself
in about three years. That’s what all the talk is
