TopDry Terminal utilizes the same top of the line, Allen Bradley CompactLogix PLC used in Zimmerman Tower Dryers. WatchDog remote monitoring and control is standard for the first time on TopDry with TopDry Terminal (owner supplied internet connection required). The system uses advanced graphics and animation to give a visual representation of the TopDry’s operation.
TopDry Terminal is completely automated with full control over fill system, fans, heaters and dump chutes with monitoring and safety equipment in place. It can be controlled by straight-time, grain temperature using four electronic temperature sensors or a combination of both. With the microprocessor-based AutoFlow System, you can control two fans and heaters, two separate load augers and two aeration fans.
TopDry Terminal is the standard control for AutoFlow and AutoBatch TopDrys, and is available as an option on Manual Batch TopDrys.
TopDry is designed to enhance your operation by offering easy maintenance and optimal performance. With a shallow grain layer on a peaked floor just below the roof, TopDry achieves airflow similar to Portable Dryers with low static pressure, while delivering capacities unmatched by other bin-based dryers. The fan units are positioned on the ground, connected via ductwork, for convenient operation and upkeep. Additionally, all cooling airflow and heat are recovered and recycled into the system, boosting capacity and maximizing efficiency. No other dryer matches TopDry’s level of efficiency and drying power.
GSI was the pioneer in placing fan units on the ground, simplifying operation and maintenance while ensuring complete mixing of air and heat for uniform drying and optimal efficiency. The fan units can be positioned either parallel or perpendicular to the bin, depending on available space, and are designed to direct low-level noise away from the operational area. Additionally, the lower section automatically adjusts to accommodate height variations and any changes in pad height over time.
Our chute controller features a VFD drive for enhanced reliability and long-lasting performance. To prevent bending damage to the cable in critical areas, we use a heavy-duty chain. Coupled with large-diameter pulleys at key bend points, this design ensures the cable lasts for over 20 years.
