Introduction

DeluxManufacturingCompanyofKearney,Nebraskahasmanyyearsofexperiencein
producingenergysaving,highcapacitycontinuousflowgraindryersforbothfarmand
commercialapplications.

Deluxgraindryersaredesignedandmanufacturedtoproducequalitygrainataprofit.An
idealbalanceofholdingcapacity,airflow,heatandexposuretimeareprovided.Alldryers
aredesignedforcontinuousflowoperation.Grainenterstheroofsectionofthedryerwhere
itispreheatedasitflowsdownintothecolumnswherethedryingprocessisstarted.Twelve
(12)inchgraincolumnsoneachsideofthedryerprovideformaximumfuelefficiencyand
minimumgrainmoisturedifferentialacrossthecolumns.Asthegrainentersthecooling
chamber,outsideambientairisdrawnthroughthewarmgrainreducingthedryerfuel
consumptionovercompetitiveconventionaldryers,thuscompletingthedryingprocessand
conditioningthegrainforalongsafestoragelife.

StartupProcedure


SafetyConsiderations

Acleandryerisanefficientdryer.Thoroughinspectionoftheplenumheat
chamberandvacuumcoolingchamberandcleaningifnecessaryis
recommendedatleastevery24hoursofoperation.Installburnercovers
providedwithdryerbeforecleaningtoreduceamountofdustandforeign
materialfallingintofanhubsandburners.Cleanscreensoninsideofplenum
heatchamber,thenremovedustandforeignmaterialfromplenumfloor.
Inspectcoolingchamberandcleanifnecessary.Checktheoutsidescreensandcleanif
necessary.Theareaarounddryershouldalsobekeptclean.Accumulationofmaterialonthe
heatdeck,innerscreensorcoolingfloorcanleadtodryerfires!Donotassumethatthedryer
isstayingcleanontheinside.Checkthedryerregularlyandcleanasneeded.

Donotleavetheburnercoversintheplenumwhiledrying.Theycaninterferewiththeflow
ofairandforeignmaterialthroughtheStay‐Kleensystem(seebelow).

Stay‐KleenOperation&Maintenance

TheStay‐Kleendesignprovidesapathforthefines,dustandforeignmaterialthatentersinto
theheatandcoolchambersofthedryertoescapebackintothegrainflowanddischarge.
CertaindryingconditionsandpoorgrainqualitywillaffecttheefficiencyoftheStay‐Kleen
system.

Thereareadjustablefillerplatesaddedtoeachsideofthecoolingfloorcover.Theseallowyou
tonarrowthegapbetweenthecenterwalkplateandthescreentokeeplarger,lighterweight
foreignmaterialfrombeingdrawnbackupintothecoolingsection.Thedefaultsettingfor
theseplatesis¼”gap.Differentgrainconditionsmayinfluencetheneedtoadjustthisgap.
Deluxdoesnotrecommendmorethana¼”gap.

