Safety Guidelines for Portable Dryers

Safety guidelines are general-to-specific rules that promote safe practices in the grain drying environment and which must be respected at all times. Save these safety guidelines for future reference.

Make sure to read these safety guidelines carefully prior to installing, operating, or

CAUTION

Operation

• Read and fully understand this user guide before attempting to operate the grain dryer.

servicing your grain dryer.

• Never operate the grain dryer with its safety guards removed.

• Never operate the grain dryer by bypassing any safety device.

• Never exceed the maximum recommended drying temperature.

• Do not operate the grain dryer in an area where combustible material might be drawn into the fan.

• The operating and safety recommendations in this guide pertain to common cereal grains, as indicated. When drying other types of grain or products, contact the GSI Group, LLC for additional recommendations.

Servicing

• The power supply must be disconnected when servicing electrical components. Always use extreme caution when measuring voltage or performing procedures that require the dryer to be turned on.

• Before attempting to remove and reinstall a fan’s propeller, make sure to read the recommended procedure. If you are unsure about performing this procedure or cannot locate it, contact the GSI Group, LLC before proceeding.

Pre-Season Mode

• When using a controller with Vision N2 software, the pre-season mode allows the fans and heaters to operate under normal conditions, without the dryer being completely full of grain. In normal mode, the dryer generates a Loss of Airflow shutdown if you operate the fans without having the dryer full of grain.

• Following an extended period of inactivity—typically, at the beginning of the drying season, use preseason mode to fully test the dryer.

Pneg-1891 Portable Dryers

Chapter 1: Safety Precautions

• To enable pre-season mode, click System→Control (Advanced)→Board Mode and then select Pre-season Mode.

• Place the dryer in normal mode once inspections have been completed and you are ready to dry grain.

IMPORTANT: If you power off the dryer while in pre-season mode, normal mode is automatically

enabled the next time you power on the dryer. Make sure to reselect pre-season mode if further tests are required.

Cleanliness

• Keep the grain dryer clean at all times.

• Do not allow fine material to accumulate in the plenum chamber.

• An unclean plenum increases resistance to airflow, increases drying time, reduces drying efficiency, and creates a fire hazard.

• Always keep the area around the fan’s air inlet clear of any obstacles and combustible material.

Augers/Auxiliary Conveyors

Always use extreme caution when working around augers and auxiliary conveyors

CAUTION

because they can start automatically.

• Always keep auger drive belts adequately tensioned to prevent slippage.

• Make sure that the technical specifications and capacities of the auxiliary conveyors are matched to those of the dryer augers.

Burners/Gas Lines

• Regularly check for leaks at all gas line connections. If any leaks are detected, do not operate the grain dryer. Shut off the main power and repair the leaks before operating. Gas lines must be replaced regularly as required by the local gas regulations for your area.

• Routinely check for potential gas plumbing leaks. Check the liquid propane vaporizer for contact with the burner vanes.

• Never use an open flame to locate gas leaks. Pour a solution of soap and water over the gas pipe joints and connections, and check for the appearance of small bubbles.

• Set the pressure regulator to avoid applying excessive gas pressure to the burner during ignition or when the burner is on.

• Do not use flammable or combustible materials in the dryer’s vicinity because explosive vapors can be drawn into the fan and ignite.

• Always use extreme caution when working around high-speed fans and gas burners because they can start automatically.

Cautionary Symbols

Cautionary symbols are present in the various decals of your equipment and alert you to the possible or imminent risk of danger.

Guidelines for Supporting the Dryer with Concrete Blocks

Before filling the dryer with grain, the dryer frame must be supported with either concrete blocks or leg stands. If choosing concrete blocks, follow these guidelines for proper installation:

• Place a 2 x 6 or 2 x 8 board between the dryer frame and the concrete blocks to prevent the dryer frame from fracturing the concrete blocks.

• To prevent the dryer from overturning, it must be secured to the foundation using cables and turnbuckles that are fastened to anchors in the concrete foundation.

• Do not use the wheels as supports. Wheels are for transporting the dryer when it is empty.

• Place concrete blocks six feet apart on each side of the dryer to support the dryer frame.

NOTE: A minimum of one support for every six feet of basket length is required on each side.

• The blocks must be able to support the weight of a dryer that is filled with grain.

• With the hitch tongue removed, place a concrete block under the hitch mount location.

• The hitch assembly and the fan support must remain in place during operation. The hitch assembly and fan support are not part of the transport tie down assembly.

• Use shims to provide uniform, level support for all blocks.

• The dryer should be 16 in. (40.6 cm) off the concrete pad to accommodate for clean-out and the use of auxiliary grain handling equipment.

Guidelines for Supplying Adequate Power

An adequate power supply and proper wiring are important factors for ensuring maximum performance and long life of the dryer.

• Ensure that electrical service is adequate to prevent low-voltage damage to motors and control circuits. Refer to Specifications for the Electrical Load on a Portable Dryer, page 45 for power supply requirements.

• Power supply for single-phase models must include a neutral wire.

All dryers are equipped with a main electrical disconnect switch on the main

WARNING

dryer.

control box. This switch turns off the main power to the dryer. Make sure to turn off the main electrical disconnect switch before inspecting or servicing the

• Advise the service representative of the local power supplier that an additional load will be placed on the line.

• Considering the total horsepower load, check the KVA rating of transformers.

• The voltage drop during a motor start must not exceed 14% of the normal voltage. The power supply wiring, main switch equipment, and transformers must provide adequate motor startup and operating voltage.

• Verify that the motor is within 8% of the normal voltage when it is operating at full speed.

• Check the electrical load information for HP ratings and the maximum amp loads.

Installing the Machine-to-Earth Grounding Rod

To help protect circuit boards, the variable frequency drive (VFD), and the ignition system if electrical short circuits occur, you must install a machine-to-earth grounding rod.

What You Should Know

The machine-to-earth grounding rod that is located at the power pole does not provide adequate grounding for the dryer. The grounding rod that you install must be in accordance with local requirements.

Pneg-1891 Portable Dryers 43

Chapter 7: Power Supply

Do not install the machine-to-earth grounding rod into dry soil. The soil must be wet

CAUTION

1. Place the machine-to-earth grounding rod within 8 feet (2.4 meters) of the dryer.

2. Dig a hole large enough to hold 2 gallons (7.6 liters) of water.

3. Fill the hole with water and insert the rod through the water and into the ground.

4. Move the rod up and down, working the water into the ground.

The rod is fully inserted into the ground and an appropriate contact with the surrounding soil is assured.

5. Using an appropriate clamp, connect the bare, copper ground wire to the grounding rod.

6. Connect the ground wire to the control panel using the ground lug that is provided in the control box.

NOTE: Use a minimum grade of number six solid, bare, copper wire. The ground wire must not have

Chapter 7: Power Supply

Guidelines for Powering Auxiliary Conveyors

Before you can operate the auxiliary conveyors, you must ensure that adequate power is available.

• The auxiliary load and auxiliary unload augers or conveyors can be wired directly to the dryer.

• If an auxiliary motor is larger than recommended, it must be powered from a source outside the dryer and must use a separate contactor and overload protection device for each motor. However, you can operate the auxiliaries through the control panel.

• Refer to Specifications for the Electrical Load on a Portable Dryer, page 45 for the maximum horse- power and amps that can be wired to the dryer.

Specifications for the Electrical Load on a Portable Dryer

These charts provide information for you to ensure that the grain dryer and the auxiliary equipment are supplied with adequate power.

It is recommended that you contact the local power company and have a representative verify the installation to make sure that the wiring is compatible with their system and adequate power is supplied to the unit. The only equipment connected to the recommended service amps must be the grain dryer. You must adhere to all national and local electrical regulations. (Refer to the National Electrical Code Standard handbook created by the National Fire Protection Association). A qualified electrician must make all electrical wiring installations.

Guidelines for Connecting a Liquid Propane Supply Tank to a Dryer

When initially installing the dryer, you must connect a fuel source before you can operate the dryer. Liquid propane (LP) is one of the fuel sources you can use to fuel your dryer.

The dryers have internal vaporizers and are designed to operate on liquid draw from the supply tank. Consult your liquid propane gas dealer for proper fittings, connection hose, and safety controls that are required to meet local standards and conform with the National Fire Protection Association standards. The piping train on the dryer includes the strainer, pressure relief valve, electronic safety shutoff valve (on some models), and a pressure regulator between the vaporizer and the burner.

When long gas lines are installed between the liquid propane fuel tank and the dryer,

CAUTION

accumulation of oil or heavy hydrocarbon, resulting from extensive use on a vapor withdrawal

system.

Guidelines for connecting the liquid propane fuel tank to the dryer:

• Verify that the tank is 1000 gallons or larger and does not have a regulator mounted to it.

• Connect a flexible hose that is designed for liquid propane gas to supply tank. See Table 8-1, page

52 to determine the correct size of fuel line and heater orifice to use for your installation.

• Consult your liquid propane gas dealer for correct fittings, connection hoses, and safety controls that are required to meet all local and national code standards.

the fuel can vaporize in the fuel lines causing the vaporizer to over heat.

Do not use tanks that have previously been used for ammonia or fertilizer solutions. These substances are extremely corrosive and can damage fuel supply and burner parts.

As a result of liquid draw from the supply tank, any water or oil present in the tank can freeze in the pipe train or the controls and cause damage. To make sure that the tank is free of moisture, it can be purged with methanol. Avoid tanks containing an

• Connect a liquid propane flexible hose to the manifold on the dryer.

• Open the liquid propane shutoff valves slowly to prevent accidental closing of the excess flow valves.

Guidelines for Connecting Natural Gas to a Dryer

When initially installing the dryer, you must connect a fuel source before you can operate the dryer. Natural gas (NG) is one possible fuel choice.

• Operate the dryer on natural gas with a heat value of approximately 1000 BTU (880 kWper cubic foot).

NOTE: The dryer is equipped with a natural gas supply pipe system connected to the heater solenoid

valves.

• You must provide a regulated pressure of 15 PSI at the connection to the dryer with sufficient gas available to maintain this operating pressure.
