Guidelines for Placing a Portable Dryer
The location of existing equipment and local code requirements must be evaluated before installing the
dryer.
Things to consider when choosing a location:
• Refer to Appendix A for dryer installation dimensions.
• Consult all national and local electrical and gas codes to ensure dryer is located correctly.
• Consider the location of the wet grain supply and dry grain discharge in relationship to the dryer.
• Consider the location of the storage bins and other grain handling equipment in relationship to the
dryer.
• Consider the location of the fuel supply and electrical sources in relationship to the dryer.
• Maintain a minimum distance of at least three feet between the dryer and other structures, otherwise
air flow problems may occur.
WARNING
Do not operate dryer in an area where combustible materials can be drawn into
the fans or where load and unload augers can come into contact with power
lines.
Recommendations for a Quiet Portable Dryer Foundation
A reinforced concrete pad or similar permanent foundation is required to keep the dryer stable during
operation.
Minimum Bag Mix for Concrete Strength per Model Weight
Consider the location of the gas and electrical service locations and how the pipe and the wire need to be
positioned before pouring the concrete.
