Chapter 5: The Drying Modes

Figure 5-11 Time and temperature control scheme in the dry and cool operation

NOTE: In full-heat operation, the cooling phase is simply bypassed. As a result, the unloading phase

starts immediately following the drying phase, allowing uncooled, hot grain to be discharged from
the dryer.

Selecting a Drying Mode

Before drying grain, you can select a drying mode to determine how wet grain passes through the dryer
and exits as dry grain.

To select a drying mode:

1. From the menu pane, click Control→Moisture Control Mode.

2. Select one of the following parameters:

Continuous Flow — A drying mode where grain enters and exits the dryer in one continuous, unin-
terrupted cycle.

Staged Batch — A drying mode comprised of three distinct phases, where only a portion of the grain
is loaded, dried, and unloaded at a single time.

The available control schemes for each drying mode are displayed in the Drying Control Scheme
field.

After You Finish

For information on the continuous flow control schemes, see

;

for staged batch, see
