Business growing for
local grain handling firm
EXETER - Al -Mar Grain Systems now located at 244 Wellington Street
West in Exeter is very busily engaged in installing and servicing grain
storage, drying and handling equipment.
Especially after last summer's disastrous weather for area farmers, this
type of equipment is becoming a moist for many operators.
Brad Marsden, co-owner of the business with Ross Alexander says, " An
efficient and reliable grain drying system is a must in today's world of thin
profit margins and increased expenses."
About the past summer, Marsden said, " I've never seen one like that. It
was frustrating for everyone. The harvesting season was certainly dragged
out and we were kept busy in servicing in addition to installing grain ele-
vators and drying systems."
While the Al -Mar firm has customers throughout the province of Onta-
rio they just completed a large facility for Joe and Mike Ondrejicka on
Concession 3 of Stephen township. This installation included a unit which
can handle 1,000 bushels per hour.
For the smaller operator, Al -Mar has a Grain Systems Inc. Top Dry unit
which dries the com or beans at the top in the roof. A fan and heater locat-
•ed in the upper sidewall forces hot air through a level column of wet grain.
When the column of grain has been dried to a predetermined moisture
level, mechanical dump chutes are opened letting the hot dried grain fall to
a cooling and storage area below.
Outside air from the cooling fan captures heat from the hot dried grain,
and rises through the new layer of wet grain above. This process of recap-
turing heat and using it again cuts drying costs drastically.
The GSI Top Dry bins feature a 30 degree roof design using high tens$
corrugated roof panels that add up to 20 percent more strength without
adding more weight.
Marsden says the larger "Grain Handler" is a unique dryer that provides
continuous flow drying without screens. He adds, " It is one of the most
:efficient and quiet dryers on the market. Both of the models we have for
sale did excellent jobs this year in dealing with corn carrying moisture as
high as 45 percent."
Marsden and Alexander have been in this typerof business since 1976
and formed Al -Mar Grain Systems in 1985.
With increased demand from farmers with quicker harvesting methods
using larger combines, Marsden says the trend continues for larger bins
and faster drying units.
A grain elevator drying system installed at Triple D Farms in
Thorndale.
This facility at Arva Heights Farms includes a 200,000 bush-
el storage bin.

Pre -Season Discounts on
TOP DRY
HOW DOES THE G.S.I. SYSTEM WORK?
1) Grain is loaded into tht 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/stoiage
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 ft recycles cooing air through the drying zone
• No gear boxes, motors, or bearings inside the bin
• 100% galvanized construction inside and outside
2) FASTER DRYING
• 2 to 3 times taster per horsepower than a stirring machine because of lower
grain depth (30')
