Drying OptionsManaging the Grain Drying Process

Batch Drying

Continuous Flow

AUTO OR MANUAL BATCH Your best choice for drying relatively small or intermittent volumes of grain. Batch drying with EZEE-DRY® combines reliable technology with simple, safe and easy manual operation that allows you to manage and control your grain drying. Systems can easily be upgraded to continuous flow.

AUTOMATIC Provides 24-hour continuous and automatic operation with high degree of reliability and accuracy. An electric motor with hydraulic cylinder is controlled by temperature sensors in the grain column to automatically open and close dump spouts. A variety of available sensors monitor grain levels to help keep your EZEE-DRY® system operating continuously.

• Single batch of grain is dumped into the upper drying section of the system.

• Fans and heaters force hot air through an even layer of wet grain in the drying chamber.

grain depth approx. 30"

• When grain is dried to specified temperature, dump chutes open to let a set amount of hot dried grain fall into the cooling/storage area.

• Drying chamber is automatically refilled and the process continues until there is no more supply of wet grain.

• Steady supply of grain is continuously dumped into the upper drying section of the system.

• Fans and heaters force hot air through layers of grain in varying depths in the drying chamber.

• Heat from previously dried grain is captured by outside air from the cooling fan and reused to provide continuous drying.

• This added efficiency helps control energy costs.

grain depth approx. 12"

• Heat from previously dried grain is captured by outside air from the cooling fan, and combined with aeration air helping dry the following batch.

• This added efficiency helps control energy costs.

• When grain is dried to specified temperature, fans and heaters stop operating.

• Dump chutes are opened either manually or automatically to allow hot dried grain to fall into the cooling/storage area.

• Drying chamber is refilled with grain manually or automatically to begin the next batch.

EZEE-DRY®

The difference is in the details

Solid eave flashing (not perforated) forces more air through the grain, speeding the drying process and saving energy. Also makes cleaning easier and extends the life of the bin.

Dump chutes in the lower roof ensure even distribution of hot grain into the storage bin, enhancing even drying and improving grain quality. Fills and dumps use gravity—not belts or augers—to help lower maintenance costs.

Performance-enhancing Design Features

Roofs and sidewalls are manufactured of high tensile steel with G-115 galvanization, which provide up to 27% longer life than competitors who settle for G-90. This is especially important given the hot, moist environment in which the system operates.

Leveling bands in the drying chamber are strategically located to work with gravity and the angle of repose of grain to create a consistent, evenly distributed layer of grain depth for optimum drying efficiency.

Built-in gooseneck vents in the upper roof vent hot moist air out of the drying chamber to improve drying times.

EZEE-DRY has the strongest roof system in the industry, with peak load capacity of up to 6,000 lbs. (2,721 kg). “Up position” eave clips help exhaust moisture-laden air.

Y-section burner provides an even, efficient burn.

Strong, rugged overhead drying floor structure provides support for up to 2,100 bushels of grain during the drying process.

Grain temperature probes measure and automatically average the grain temperature in the upper chamber to control the dryer functions.

Cooling components include aeration fan, floor supports, perforated floor and transition. Customer preference and grain depth will help determine if an axial or centrifugal fan is needed.

Hydraulic Pump with air return provides ultimate reliability. Available on auto-batch and continuous flow models.
