Dryer Master DM510
Operations Manual
Discharge System
The discharge system must be checked and maintained to operate as designed. This will ensure
that the product is removed in a uniform manner from the dryer. It can be beneficial to test the
dryer throughput at the start of the season. Any change in equipment or calibration of the
discharge system equipment will likely require an adjustment to the DM510 Dryer Master volume
and throughput setup.
Burner
Burners cannot meet performance specification if neither the burner controls nor the burners are
regularly serviced. An unserviceable thermostat or poorly adjusted burner control system will not
keep the heat at a constant temperature. A dirty burner or a burner control problem may prevent
the burner from reaching its maximum designed output, or prevent it from maintaining a consistent
gas pressure.
Product Quality
Varying product quality can have an effect on Dryer and DM510 performance. Light crops tend to
dry more easily than heavy crops. This can result in a situation where columns in a dryer have over
dried product while others are wet. The DM510 can only attempt to average the product exiting the
dryer. This behavior can result in poor DM510 moisture sensor to bench top meter calibration
agreement and generally poor moisture control.
