General Instructions
Introduction
Delux Manufacturing Company of Kearney, Nebraska has many years of experience in
producing energy saving, high capacity continuous flow grain dryers for both farm and
commercial applications.
Delux grain dryers are designed and manufactured to produce quality grain at a profit. An ideal
balance of holding capacity, air flow, heat and exposure time are provided. All dryers are
designed for continuous flow operation. Grain enters the roof section of the dryer where it is
preheated as it flows down into the columns where the drying process is started. Twelve (12)
inch grain columns on each side of the dryer provide for maximum fuel efficiency and
minimum grain moisture differential across the columns. As the grain enters the cooling
chamber, outside ambient air is drawn through the warm grain reducing the dryer fuel
consumption over competitive conventional dryers, thus completing the drying process and
conditioning the grain for a long safe storage life.

Safety Code
The design and manufacture of this dryer is directed toward operator
safety. Use extreme caution in working around high speed fans, gas fired
burners, discharge augers and conveyors, and auxiliary augers and
conveyors, which may start without warning when the dryer is operating
on automatic controls.
Continued safe, dependable operation of automatic equipment depends to a great degree
upon the owner/operator. For a safe dependable drying system, follow the recommendations
within the manual and make it a practice to regularly inspect the operation of the unit for any
developing problems or unsafe conditions.
Keep a clean grain dryer. Do not allow fine
material to accumulate on the plenum or cooling floor or a trash fire can result. Checking
the dryer at least every 24 hours and cleaning will help prevent problems. The dryer should
not be left unattended for extended periods of time!
