Dryer Master DM510
Installation Manual
Option 2 In-Line Method

Details
The Dryer Master In-Line chute with rotary feed is designed so that the moisture of the grain can be
measured without having to divert a portion into a bypass. (see
Appendix 3, Option 2
.) Some dryer
manufacturers can supply a chute that will fit under their dryer to accommodate an outlet fin sensor
to get a similar effect. A similar type device can be fabricated on site.
A moisture sensor
is installed in a 6” x 6” chute mounted within a larger chute
that handles the full
flow of grain from the dryer. The flow through the sensor chute is restricted and metered using
either a rotary feed or a slide gate restrictor. The grain that does not flow through the sensor chute
flows past in the main part of the chute. T
his method requires a minimum of 16” of vertical space
not including necessary transitions. Normally the sensor is installed under the dryer between it and
the dry grain auger or drag.
Install the Chute and Sensor in a continuous flow of grain and
where the sensor will remain full
.
Install the Chute and Sensor so the operator can inspect and clean the sensor. It must be possible
to do these tasks easily and
safely
while the dryer is operating.
Installation Procedure
Note for the Dryer Master In-Line chute with rotary feed additional photos are in Appendix 3,
Option 2.
1.
If necessary, adjust the discharge
system of the dryer so that a chute 16” high by (minimum)
16” square can be installed
(Size will depend upon bushels being discharged).
2.
Make sure that the centre of the flow of grain is directed at the Sensor’s location and will
keep the sensor full.
3.
Weld or Bolt the sensor chute to the bottom of the dryer.
4.
Create a transition between the bottom of the chute and the dry grain drag or auger.
5.
Bolt the Sensor to the outside surface of the frame. See Figure 17
–
for an example.
6.
An access is provided for the operator to safely inspect and clean out the sensor and take
moisture samples without turning off the dryer discharge.
