| Grain Introducing the Savannah Series Driers from Perry of Oakley Ltd Perry of Oakley Ltd are the UK’s most experienced manufacturer of materials handling & drying equipment and have announced the release of their latest continuous mixed flow drier. he Savannah series driers have significant improvements to their operation and appearance. The operation of the fans has been improved as they will now be controlled by an inverter and there is also the potential to save power by running the fans at reduced speed and power consumption. The fans selections have been revised to reduce the absorbed power consumption of the driers. The overall drier width is reduced which will help when fitting the drier into existing buildings. The Savannah Series driers will still come with Perry’s own advanced PLC panel, which is designed and programmed in T www.farmingmonthly.co.uk 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. To ensure drier longevity they 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 our 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, aspirator pre- cleaners, belt conveyors & much more!
