• Eliminates the most common problems found in other „
As wet gram 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 revolution around the
upper drying floor drawing the dried gram into
the lower cooling area
Hot air is introduced under the upper floor to
dry the wet gram and to heat the surface of the
gram 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 m the drying
process, saving on fuel costs
When not being used for drying, the bin will
store 8500 bushels of grain
