Now Available! MC MATHfVVS CaMfAtY DRYBINE The ENERGY SAVING IN-BIN DRYING SYSTEM The new Mathews Continuous In-Bin Dryer is a combination storage drying and cooling bin designed to save you money. It is efficient, fast, easy to manage and costs less to operate. The drying process is fast, while the cooling process is slow, eliminating stress cracks and damage caused by fast cooling. There is nothing else like it on the market. The Mathews design requires no wet holding bin or separate bin for cooling. ® Eliminates the most common problems found in other m-bin dryers. • Proven high capacity results (357 bushels per hour). • Low per bushel costs. • Saves energy for profitable operations ARROWS SHOW AIR FLOW Patents Pending Designers of Quality Systems for Poultry, Swine and Grain Handling.

As wet grain enters the top of the bin, it flows into the upper drying chamber as har vested, with no need for a wet holding bin. This upper chamber holds up to 4 feet of wet grain {2250 bushels). Every seven minutes, a continuous flow auger makes a complete upper drying floor, drawing the dried grain into the lower cooling area. Hot air is introduced under the upper floor to dry the wet grain and to heat the surface of the grain that is distributed into the lower cooling chamber. The air that is used for cooling the grain picks up heat during the cooling process. This heated air is then used again in the drying process, saving on fuel costs. When not being used for drying, the bin will store 8500 bushels of grain. Lancaster Farming, Saturday, March 1,1980—Cl 28.3 13.1 15.3 356.8 . 40 Hours 57 Minutes . 23 Hours 35 Minutes SYCAMORE IND.
