The DM monitors the temperature profile of the material in the hopper using six
Resistance Temperature Device (RTD) sensors. These RTD sensors are located at even-
ly spaced positions in the drying hopper. Monitoring the six sensors creates an accurate
profile of the hopper’s temperature gradient. This simple gradient measuring system
informs the user that major characteristics of good drying are present (or not).
Heat:
Each probe precisely measures the heat being created by the dryers heating sys-
tem and more importantly, the changes that heat goes through as it is combined with
the flow of material through the hopper. Heated air is going up in the hopper and is
constantly facing a refreshed supply of material while that material is flowing down and
into the process, which creates a predictable heat profile for good drying inside the hop-
per. The DM keeps precise track of that profile and alerts you if something is not as it
should be for good drying.
Air flow:
Air is the medium that carries heat to the drying hopper and carries moisture
away from the material. By keeping track of different heat zones in the drying hopper,
the DM is also passively keeping track of the air flow through the hopper.
Time:
The DM interprets the temperature findings from the drying hopper and knows
how long material needs to be kept at the correct temperature for good drying. Once
again, by measuring each of the six zones the DM can tell you if you are getting good
drying performance or if something is not correct for success.
