G5I TOP DRY HOW DOES THE G. S. I. SYSTEM WORK? 1) Grain is loaded into the upper chamber of the bin, and dried as a batch 2) When the grain is dry, the burner automatically shuts off 3) The operator lowers the dump chutes with a winch, and the grain falls to the lower part of the bin for cooling/storage 4) The dump chutes are cranked closed and another batch is loading into the drying chamber WHY IS A TOP DRY A BETTER INVESTMENT THAN A STIRRING MACHINE? 1) LOWER OPERATING COSTS • Uses much less fuel because it recycles cooling air through the drying zone • No gear boxes, motors, or bearings inside the bin o 100% galvanized construction inside and outside 2) FASTER DRYING • 2 to 3 times faster per horsepower than a stirring machine because of lower grain depth (30") FOR MORE INFORMATION OR A FREE ESTIMATE, CALL TODAY (AL•mAR; GRAIN SYSTEMS LTD. 131 Thames Rd.
