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. L) 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') FOR MORE INFORMATION OR A FREE ESTIMATE, CALL TODAY GRAIN SYSTEMS LTD. 244 Wellington St. W., Unit B, Exeter, Ontario NOM 152 (519) 235-1919 / Fax: (519) 235-2562 See it today 1 Limited Supply 1 750: THE TRUE NO -TILL DRILL • Seeds into virtually any condition with minimal soil disturbance • New low -speed drive ideal for soybeans • Exceptional accuracy and depth control ■ New adjustable 3 -position seed/fertilizer divider ■ 10 and 15 - foot widths, full 48 -inch clearance, grain or grain/ fertilizer.
