Consistent moisture control
The moisture consistency is outstanding. We've seen significant improvements in grain quality and reduced energy costs.
In-Depth Interview
Q: What convinced you to buy a Dryer Master in the first place?
A: We needed better moisture control consistency for our high-volume operation. The ability to maintain precise target moisture levels was critical for our grain quality.
Q: How does the Dryer Master change the way you dry?
A: Using the Dryer Master changes the way we harvest, such as which fields we are going to harvest next. We are not as concerned about the moisture content in each field.
Q: How often do you calibrate the outlet sensor, and what procedure do you use?
A: We probably calibrate the outlet sensor twice a day. We take 4-5 samples during the calibration time, mix them together, and bench sample them to get an average moisture.
Q: Do you use DM Mobile?
A: We started using DM Mobile this year on my cell phone. I watch the outlet moisture from my phone as well as the drying rate and the drying temp. I like being able to change it from Auto to Local or Manual from my combine or my house.
Q: Have you found a financial difference in your drying performance using Dryer Master?
A: Absolutely. The consistency in moisture control has reduced our shrink and dock charges significantly. The energy savings from not over-drying are substantial with our volume.
Q: Have you contacted the Dryer Master Support Centre? What was your experience?
A: Yes, their technical support has been excellent. They respond quickly during harvest season when we need help the most.
