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, T 18 | Farming Monthly | February 2018 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.
