Single Fan Axial Dryers provide a highly economical choice for full-heat grain drying. They typically operate in full-heat mode, discharging hot grain (generally 120°F - 150°F) which must then be cooled in a grain bin with a full floor and fan(s) providing 1/3 CFM/BU of airflow when full, or 12 CFM per BPH. Full-heat drying combined with slow in-bin cooling, or dryeration, provides an efficient method to dry grain while giving excellent grain quality. Sukup Single Fan Axial Dryers can also be operated in batch mode. Batch drying allows you to run a heat and a cool cycle with a single fan dryer, can allow you to use one piece of equipment (such as a bucket elevator) to load and unload the dryer, and dry extremely high moisture corn (30% or more) when continuous flow is not possible.
Sukup Single Fan Axial Dryers are engineered to offer efficient, uniform drying. As one of Sukup’s Cross-Flow Dryers, the Single Fan Axial Dryer features the Quad Metering Roll System, which uses four metering rolls that pull the inner, hotter layer of grain down the column faster than the outer, cooler layer. This results in producing more even moisture content of the dried grain, maintaining higher test weights and overall quality while improving fuel efficiency. |
