| LAMMA Software improvements Master Driers industrial for weighbridge operation in design strength and Griffith Elder are continuing development in products for the agricultural market in the area of wireless activation, site control and security. performance The 2015 range of Master Driers that will be exhibited at the LAMMA Machinery show in January 2015 incorporate many new features. he popular 12 Ton Model is fully Galvanised and the whole range introduces ‘New Age’ Technology which can be personalised to meet individual requirements, with capacities from 10 Ton - 45 Ton and flexibility in specification. The principle of drying remains the same, but, the emphasis has been to make Master Driers ‘user’ friendly. They offer efficient drying and simplified operation with manual or automatic programmes. The new operating systems are incorporated in both the Electric and PTO driven Driers. One unique feature option available on all models is the “3 Stage Burner”. It is designed with three fuel nozzles which operate in any sequence to give a wide range of temperatures. The main advantage is that it is not necessary to change the fuel jet T eighbridges (fixed or portable) can be activated by “Fobs” thus eliminating the need for a weighbridge operator. The fob can be used to apply a tare weight and vehicle ID to a weighbridge record or, when used with some software, copy over field data to a new ticket. Key advantages of this system are in the vastly reduced tipping cycle times at harvest and the release of personnel from weighbridge duties. New software features for 2015 include the creation of a new tier of “Grain Storage Software” that has been tailored specifically for W www.farmingmonthly.co.uk large farmers and contractors. The software has many of the features written for Grain Merchants, together with moisture tables for automatic correction of weights. On the expanding biomass and biogas renewables market, dedicated software has been produced to work with full sized fixed and portable weighing systems so details of fuel or feed stock can be recorded. For Biogas plants, this involves recording vehicle, driver, farm contract, field name, crop, variety, clamp number, dry matter, weights and store totals. Visit them on stand No.358 at LAMMA which simplifies the operation of the burner when drying different crops. This option is available at no extra charge We are also showing our new range of mobile Grain Cleaners for use with most combinable crops. We offer two models, the 572 with a 70 ton/hour operating capacity and the 772 with an operating capacity of 100 Tons/hour. Both models are equipped with a hydraulic drive or electric drive. Masters have also successfully introduced a new range of square section fully galvanised wet grain bins to complement its range of grain driers. These are available from 3 – 40 Ton capacities and are supplied as a flat ‘self-assembly’ kit.
