Deploying And Positioning Of A Mobile Dryer; Mobile Dryer Deployed Indoors - Mepu K-SERIES Operating Manual

5 Deploying and positioning of a mobile dryer.

Mobile dryers need not be placed in a building. The design of a mobile dryer permits using it
outdoors without any special protective structures. Nevertheless, it is advisable to build a light
unheated shelter around the dryer, or an element silo to be used as grain storage, which also gives
the structure its walls. If a more permanent building is constructed, note the aspects related to
building permits.
Always contact the local construction and fire rescue authorities before you start the
installation.

5.1 Mobile dryer deployed indoors

Air flows of a dryer positioned indoors shall be arranged such that dust from the cleaners and outlet
ducts does not get mixed into the dryer intake air.
When selecting the deployment site make sure that the required electrical and oil connections are
available. Select such location for the oil tank or oil barrels that the oil lines do not cross any
passageways, in order to prevent them from getting damaged. The oil tank must be placed at least 3
m away from the dryer.
In other respects the dryer shall be located in the optimal place and such that there is enough space
for the trailer-tractor combination for driving and turning around. The place where the dryer is
installed has to be as level as possible in relation to the frame of the dryer, and have sufficient load-
bearing properties, e.g. a concrete slab. Moreover, it is necessary to consider any dust and noise
hazards.
Before commissioning the dryer it is advisable to set up
a block for the trailer, in order to avoid damaging the
hopper. If the dumping height of the trailer is low, it is
advisable to build a ramp for the hopper.
Air flows in an enclosed space
The intake air has to be taken from
outside the building using an
extension pipe (A). The debris/ dust
pile (B) of the pre-cleaner and the
bottom aspirator have to be led
through the cyclone out from the
building into a separate dust
collection bin. Exhaust air pipes (2
pcs) are taken outside the building
(C). The smokestack is led outside
the building (D). The grain line is
installed such that the loading is
flexible (E). Make sure that the
furnace gets dust-free air in any
conditions.
