OPICO 395QF - 9 TON GAS GRAIN DRYER

Easy to install and relocate when necessary, this OPICO 395QF 9 ton Grain Dryer does not require vast expenditure on handling equipment, and their Gas Grain Dryers range can easily dry up to 168 tons per day automatically, with minimal supervision. Using gas with 3 phase or PTO drive OPICO dryers recirculate the grain constantly to dry thoroughly and consistently whilst improving hectolitre weights and augmenting quality. GT Dryers use Liquid Propane Gas fuel for drying heat. A tank or a group of bottles are needed to supply the dryer with liquid gas which is vaporised within the dryer and supplied to the burner ring. This provides a very clean, easily controllable and even heat which is cost effective and means that the burner requires minimal operator input and minimal servicing. When drying malting barley and milling crops many owners prefer Gas as a fuel for its guaranteed cleanliness and efficiency. Some of the major benefits you can expect from an OPICO GT portable batch dryer:

• Easy installation
• Minimal management required
• Run on clean LP gas
• Require minimal service
• Full range of models available
• Improved presentation of grain through the polishing effect of the recirculation
• Improved hectolitre weight through cleaning action of the built in grain cleaner
• Loading at ground level, discharge from the top
• Grain is dried consistently throughout the batch
• Maintain high resale values

Efficient Clean Drying

The gas is piped into the burner unit in liquid form and passes through a vaporising ring before being burnt in a ring burner, as liquid gas expands 100 times to become vapour this ensures high temperatures can be attained easily. As gas burns very cleanly, apart from long term servicing, little input is required by the operator.

Operator Guidance and Self Diagnostics (395QF, 595QF, 600QF, 795QF, 800QF Models ONLY)

Models with the Grain Guard fitted benefit from a menu system which guides the operator through setting his dryer up for a particular mode of operation and for specific crops with example temperatures preset into the controller. The Grain Guard also has a diagnostic function which controls the fail safes and will highlight the problem if there is one.

Longevity

The outer screens on GT dryers are covered in an Epoxy coating to prevent corrosion and prolong the life of the dryer

Quiet for Sensitive Areas (QF Models ONLY)

QF Models use a large custom built centrifugal fan to create the airflow required to dry with, as the fan blades do not cut through the air aggressively this produces less noise resulting in a decibel rating of 74 and the ability to work 24 hours a day in noise sensitive areas.
