Observe the temperature values regularly to ensure that the system is working properly. At the
beginning of each drying season, test the high limit shut-off system.
3.5. Blower System
• The blower motor, pulley, and blower housing are located at the lowest level of each dryer section. A
transition housing connects the blower housing to specific tiers of that section.
• Proper airflow is verified by the static pressure air switch located within the burner box.
• The primary purpose for the blower system is to provide airflow for each dryer section. Most blower/
transition housings include a burner system. However, a bottom dryer section can be ordered with a blower,
but NO burner. This would be used for cooling only.
• The blower motor size is provided per dryer configuration and customer requirements, and ranges from 15
to 30 HP.
• Refer to Section 7.1 – Standard Model Specifications on page 125 for more information, including total air
flow, etc.
• The blower system in the lowest dryer section with a burner can also include an optional system that will
cool grain using cooling floors and cooling doors. See Section 3.6 – Grain Cooling System (optional) on page
35.
