hey have achieved this well-
earned title by providing quality
products at affordable prices
both in the UK and export
market, using the knowledge
and experience that can only
be gained through years of experience.
Perry designed & manufactured their first
continuous mixed flow grain drier back in 1955,
the first Perry grain drier was a considerably
advanced piece of equipment for its time, and
Perry’s latest drier, the Savannah Series, is no
different in that it is leading the way with drying
technology.
The Savannah series driers are capable of
capacities from 8tph to 800tph. The driers
come with Perry’s own advanced PLC panel,
which is designed and programmed in house,
and the auto control, which uses both the
exhaust air temperature and hot grain
temperature to give advanced control of the
drier with feedback, to maintain a consistent
moisture content of the discharged grain. If
connected to the internet, the panel can send
you email and text alerts including drier status
updates and it will alert you to any issues that
may have occurred while drying.
The PLC panel can also be connected to an
app (available free on Google Play & iStore).
While connected to the app, you can see your
control panel and control it from the app. It
provides a direct link to your control panel,

meaning you can control your drier from
anywhere you have a mobile phone signal or a
WiFi connection.
To ensure drier longevity the Savannah
Series driers are built with a 2mm thick grain
column for additional strength, and 3mm thick
top ducts in the grain column to help prevent
deformation and wear. To promote consistent
movement of the grain down the grain column,
even in very wet conditions, all Savannah
Series Driers are fitted with pneumatically
controlled Shutter discharge. This year this has
been upgraded to phosphor bronze bushes on
all wearing parts. These improvements, and the
other key features of the Savannah range,
provide a truly commercial specification grain
drier for use on farms and commercial grain
stores.
Perry of Oakley Ltd also manufacture a full
range of 10tph – 1000tph handling equipment
including chain & flight conveyors, belt &
bucket elevators, augers & screw conveyors,

more.
