EasyDry Grain Drying Systems
Grain Drying & Storage System Raise your standards high, with EasyDry. EasyDry enhances your on-farm grain storage system efficiency and overall grain quaility. EasyDry from Westeel is the industry s first-ever roof-top grain drying system. With new innovations in the technology, engineering and manufacturing, EasyDry is now even better than before for your grain drying and storage needs. EasyDry puts a grain dryer in the top of a grain bin, combining a drying bin, cooling bin, and storage bin all in one. As the grain dries, it is then dumped into the storage area below - your drying system has now doubled as a storage bin! Cost-effective and time efficient. Low start-up and initial cost allows you to add grain drying capability to your farm easily and affordably. Simple operation with few moving parts, making the system easy to learn and use. Expandable system to grow your farming operations into larger systems. The industry s highest-rated roof system adds strength, service life and confidence to your EasyDry system. Low maintenance keeps your operation costs manageable and reduces replacements and repairs.

Solid eave flashing (not perforated) forces more air through the grain, speeding the drying process and saving energy. Also makes cleaning easier and extends the life of the bin. Dump chutes in the lower roof ensure even distribution of hot grain into the storage bin, enhancing even drying and improving grain quality. Fills and dumps use gravity not belts or augers to help lower maintenance costs. Your choice of batch, auto-batch or continuous flow system to match your grain volume, handling and drying demands. State-of-the-art controls, sensors and switches that provide accurate and reliable operation. G-115 galvanization used throughout, providing up to 27% longer life than competitors who settle for G-90. This is important given the hot, moist environment inside the bin. A wide range of options and accessories that add capability, safety and accessibility to your system. Unmatched service and support from a local dealer you trust.
Drying Options Managing the Grain Drying Process Batch Drying AUTO OR MANUAL BATCH Your best choice for drying relatively small or intermittent volumes of grain. Batch drying with EasyDry combines reliable technology with simple, safe and easy operation that allows you to manage and control your grain drying. Systems can easily be upgraded to continuous flow. grain depth approx. 30" Single batch of grain is dumped into the upper drying section of the system. Fans and heaters force hot air through an even layer of wet grain in the drying chamber. Continuous Flow Heat from previously dried grain is captured by outside air from the cooling fan, and combined with aeration air helping dry the following batch. This added efficiency helps control energy costs. When grain is dried to specified temperature, fans and heaters stop operating. Dump chutes are opened either manually or automatically to allow hot dried grain to fall into the cooling/storage area. Drying chamber is refilled with grain automatically or manually to begin the next batch. AUTOMATIC Provides 24-hour continuous and automatic operation with high degree of reliability and accuracy. An electric motor with hydraulic cylinder is controlled by temperature sensors in the grain column to automatically open and close dump spouts. A variety of available sensors monitor grain levels to help keep your EasyDry system operating continuously. grain depth approx. 12" Steady supply of grain is continuously dumped into the upper drying section of the system. Fans and heaters force hot air through layers of grain in varying depths in the drying chamber. Heat from previously dried grain is captured by outside air from the cooling fan and reused to provide continuous drying. This added efficiency helps control energy costs. When grain is dried to specified temperature, dump chutes open to let a set amount of hot dried grain fall into the cooling/storage area. Drying chamber is automatically refilled and the process continues until there is no more supply of wet grain.
