APPLICATIONS A basic Aspirator unit pulls material from the discharge auger only. The Airstream Aspirator is designed to remove bees wings and dust par- ticles from the grain as it exits the dryer. The unit utilizes a 3 hp aspi-...
Modified discharge box with side discharge chute. GSI recommends mounting on the left side for the best performance, Determine which side of the however, the Aspirator can be mounted on either the left or right hand dryer the Aspirator will be side of the dryer.
INSTALLATION Vacuum Option for the Basic Aspirator Vacuum Hose Option The Vacuum Hose Option provides and additional cleaning function. This option allows quick clean-up of the dryer location and the inside of the dryer plenum. An air cutoff slide plate is included with this option. The air cutoff plate removes the settling chamber from the system providing maximum vacuum to the vacuum...

INSTALLATION Settling Chamber Assembly The Settling Chamber Assembly reduces the suction force being generated at the discharge box to prevent any kernels from being pulled into the system. A "fresh air" vent is provided to also control the suction force. The Settling Chamber Assembly can be modified with the Vacuum Hose Kit.

INSTALLATION C A U T I O N The discharge box lid is part of the safety features of the dryer. The rear discharge safety switch mounted on the lid is an emergency shutdown switch if the unloading equipment operates incorrectly. Check that the discharge box lid will open and close freely on its hinge.
The 3 hp Blower Unit generates the vacuum force needed to extract the debris from the discharging grain. Preassembled and tested at GSI, the blower is ready to install upon delivery. Standard wiring of the 3 hp motor eases the time of installation.
INSTALLATION Assembling the T-valve. Expanded Aspirator The Expanded Aspirator uses a rotary valve to control the direction of the suction force generated by the blower. It can be set for top only, bottom only, or top and bottom suction. The valve mounts directly to the blower for simple mounting.

INSTALLATION Several views of the installed 3 hp Blower on the Expanded Aspirator.
INSTALLATION Installing the top pipe sections. Expanded Aspirator The Expanded Aspirator uses a modified fill hopper box to pull debris from the top auger as the dryer is loaded. Debris is pulled up from the fill box and then turned to fall to the T-valve Assembly.

INSTALLATION Bolt the 8' Tube Weldment to the Bolt the 8' Tube Weldment to angle ring on top of the T-valve the T-valve Assembly. Assembly using the 5/16" Whiz Nuts and Bolts. Slide a 6" Compression Clamp onto the end of the 8' Tube Weldment so the tube is inserted to the center of the clamp.
INSTALLATION Installing the Cyclone Section Basic Aspirator The Aspirator utilizes a polyethylene cyclone to separate the removed particles from the airflow. A 3 foot section of tubing is designed into the exhaust tubing. This additional tubing provides clearance between the cyclone location and the side of the dryer.

INSTALLATION Control Option for the Aspirator The Aspirator can be wired to the control circuits of the dryer. Use this diagram to install the This wiring allows the Aspirator to run only when the augers of Aspirator Control Option. the dryer run. When the dryer experiences a safety shutdown, the Aspirator will shutdown also.
OPERATION Operating the Basic The Basic Aspirator is designed to pull bees wings, chaff, and dust Aspirator. from the grain as the dryer discharges grain at the end of the drying process. The foreign material is in its lightest state and is easily removed.
OPERATION Operating the Expanded The Expanded Aspirator is designed to pull bees wings, chaff, and Aspirator. dust from the grain during filling and emptying of the dryer. The Aspirator utilizes a vacuum force to create suction on the fill and discharge auger boxes.
OPERATION C A U T I O N Do not vacuum dense objects such as rocks into the Aspirator. These objects will cause damage to the fan and to the dryer unloading equipment. Inspect the components of the Aspirator for damage immediately if this does occur.
