Drying Of Partial Batches - Mepu K-SERIES Operating Manual

6.4.10 Drying of partial batches

If the batch of grain being dried is significantly smaller than the actual capacity of the dryer, there is
the risk that as the drying phase progresses and the grain is dried, the top ridges open up into the
grain bin. In this case hot air escapes from the dryer through the opened ridges, while some grain
can also drift into the air chambers. In order to dry such batches the dryer is equipped with the
partial batch shutters (operated from the rear of the dryer).
When you start drying such partial batch, turn the shutter levers at the rear of the dryer into the
"closed" position. Close the furnace intake to reduce the air flow.
In M150k and M180k models there are two hatches at the top part of the drying cells, which act as
shutters. These hatches close the top row of ridges of the cell.
