Save up to 35% on operational grain drying costs
17th December 2024
Perry of Oakley says its Savannah continuous flow grain dryer offers substantial savings in grain drying costs when paired with add-ons.
A Perry of Oakley Savannah continuous flow grain dryer can save you up to 35% of your dryer running costs. This is when used with Perry dryer add-ons such as Hot Air Recirculation, insulation, and Grain Sentry automatic grain moisture monitoring.
Based on a 30t/hr dryer, drying 6,000 tonnes of wheat per season this combined system could give you a potential saving of £21,500 per season, in average UK ambient conditions, Perry reckons*. The more you dry, the bigger the yearly savings.
The Hot Air Recirculation takes the unsaturated but warm air from the exhaust side of the column and recirculates it. The less air you have to heat, the more money you save.
Grain drying costs – a powerful argument
The Grain Sentry automatic dryer moisture monitoring system takes samples from the grain entering and leaving the dryer. It then feeds it into one of the most accurate moisture meters available on the market. This information is then used to control the discharge speed of the dryer. This prevents the quite large financial losses associated with over-drying grain such as decrease in weight, extra fuel usage, labour and electricity, for example. This means big savings and peace of mind can be achieved.
The Perry Savannah continuous flow dryers come with a touch screen PLC control interface as standard. This can be accessed remotely via Wi-Fi, allowing the dryer to be monitored and controlled from anywhere with mobile coverage. This will save you labour costs as you no longer need to have your dryer staffed while it is running. It also gives you peace of mind while you spend your time on other activities.
The Perry Dryer Fire Detection system can be added too, to give you vital early warning of a fire in the dryer plus the system will automatically shut the dryer down if fire is detected.
The Perry Savannah series dryers have a capacity range from 5t/hr upwards and, with all of the add-ons listed above, there is a powerful argument to purchase a Perry Savannah dryer for the upcoming season.
