Overview of the TopDry Grain Dryer
The TopDry Grain Dryer is a grain bin with the addition of a peaked drying floor inside the top of the bin.
The grain flows into the top of the bin and special leveling bands keep the grain at a uniform depth. A
large fan and heater unit, located on the ground, heat the grain located in the overhead drying chamber
via ductwork. Once dried, the grain is dumped into the holding area below for storage. A smaller aeration
fan cools the grain and captures heat from the previously dried grain and pushes it upward to help dry the
next load.
