DRYER START UP
The vaporizer can be adjusted two ways. First, by loosening the bolt in
the hinging mechanism and swinging it to a hotter or cooler position.
Second, by loosening the two bolts in the hinge pipe and sliding the
vaporizer in or out to a cooler or hotter position. Either one or both
methods may have to be used to get the vaporizer to the proper tem-
perature. Natural gas does not use a vaporizer.
FULL HEAT-CONTINUOUS FLOW OPERATION
1.
Look at the chart on page 22 (CONTINUOUS FLOW METERING ROLL
SETTINGS-FULL HEAT). You will see the settings for (Initial Moisture)
(Moisture Removed) (Approx. Drying Time) (1 Speed) (2 Speed Low)
(2
Speed High) pick the line that has your initial starting moisture.
These
are the settings we will be referring to during this start up
procedure.
2.
Make sure the UNLOAD switch is OFF.
3.
Make sure the MOISTURE CONTROL switch is OFF.
4.
Run the fan and heater for about 10% longer than the (Approx. Drying
Time) required for the moisture you are trying to dry.
5.
Example: 10% removal would be about 54 minutes, 15% removal would
be about 76 minutes and 20% removal would be about 100 minutes.
Add 10 minutes to insure that the grain is dry.
6.
After the time in step 4 turn the UNLOAD to 1 SPEED and set the
METER ROLL SPEED, (HIGH SPEED) potentiometer to the setting for
1 SPEED operation. Grain should begin to run at this time. Run time for
this is about 10% longer than the (Approx. Drying Time) required for the
moisture you are trying to dry, as shown in the example #5 above. This
allows the moisture in the dryer to reach an even gradient top to bottom
without having any highs or lows in it. It will however, over dry some of
the corn a little.
7.
Increase the plenum temperature set point to 190
°
F.
8.
DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST THE DRYER FOR MOISTURE DURING
THIS PROCESS OR YOU WILL ESTABLISH HIGH AND LOW
SWINGS IN THE MOISTURE CONTROL. IT WILL TAKE SEVERAL
HOURS TO WORK ITSELF OUT.
9.
After the run time in step 6 you are ready to set up the moisture control.
Turn the MOISTURE CONTROL to the ON position. Set the tempera-
ture to about 95
°
F.
10. Turn the UNLOAD to 2 SPEED. Set the METER ROLL SPEED, LOW
SPEED and HIGH SPEED potentiometers to the settings listed for them.
Let the dryer run on these settings as shown in the example #5 before
How often do I make speed
adjustment?

ten in the
