2020 Sukup Axial Dryers | Single Plenum T8

Single Fan and Heater Dryers provide the most economical choice for full-heat drying, discharging hot grain (generally 120°F - 150°F). The grain must then be cooled in a grain bin with a full floor and fan(s) providing 1/3 – ½ CFM/BU of airflow when full, or 12 CFM per BPH. Full-heat drying combined with slow in-bin cooling, or dryeration, provides the most efficient method to dry while giving the best grain quality. Sukup Single Fan and Heater 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. Batch drying also allows you to dry extremely high moisture corn (30% or more) when continuous flow is not possible.

Features may include:

• Sukup's exclusive, patented Quad Metering Roll System (U.S. Patent #5,992,044) is standard on all Sukup Portable Grain Dryers

• By using two metering rolls on each dryer column, Sukup is able to pull grain down the drying columns at different speeds. The inner, hotter layer of grain is pulled down the column faster than the cooler, outer layer. The process produces more even moisture content of the dried grain, minimizes damage, and maintains higher test weights and overall quality

• They reduce moisture variation and maintain grain quality without blocking airflow or creating spots for debris to accumulate

• The Sukup Quad Metering Roll System received an AE50 Award from the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers

• Electronic modulating valve heater controls provide computer-controlled gas flow to maintain plenum temperature set by the operator

• This system is much more fuel efficient than on-off or high-low controls

• Plenum temperature can be easily adjusted from the touchscreen

• Sukup crossflow dryers have the widest grain columns available at 14 inches; wider grain columns allows for more grain in process, promoting higher grain quality and fuel efficiency when compared to narrower grain columns

• Axial fan dryers are low-speed fans - 1750 RPM

• Low-speed axial fans are quieter than traditional axial fans used for in-bin drying and aeration because they run at half the speed
