Grain Drying Equipment
Grain Dryers
With over 37 years of experience in the agricultural equipment manufacturing business, Grain Systems (GSI) has all the resources and expertise necessary to meet your specific needs.
GSI offers the most technologically advanced and reliable dryers on the market today. We also offer the widest selection of dryer models, suitable for a wide variety of applications.
All GSI dryers feature easy-to-use and state-of-the-art controls, heavy-duty galvanized steel construction, and industrial grade electrical components. GSI dryers can help solve even the most complex grain conditioning problems.
Inline Centrifugal Fans
Delicate drying jobs, such as milo, wheat or rape seed require special consideration. Aerating tall hopper tanks can be another challenge.The GSI inline centrifugal fan is designed to handle both these applications effectively. Suited for high static pressures beyond the performance range of vane-axial fans, the inline centrifugal fan offers the same characteristics of a regular centrifugal fan, however it is much more economical. Sizes range from 1-1/2 HP to 15 HP, 18" through 28" diameters
Vane-Axial Fans
For applications requiring high airflow at low static pressures, GSI offers vane-axial fans in 12" dia. (3/4 HP) through 42" dia. (40 HP). The 12" through 28" (15 HP) units feature a 3450 RPM motor for increased fan performance and energy efficiency. Close fan blade tip clearance and stator vanes provide maximum air flow and reduced turbulence ensuring smooth consistent airflow. All 24" and larger vane axial fans include an inlet venturi which funnels air more efficiently into the fan.
1750/3500 RPM Centrifugal Fans
GSI's 1750 RPM Centrifugal fans are built with a heavy galvanized steel, scroll-type housing and inverted inlet venturi. A non-overloading backward inclined aerofoil wheel provides high airflow with a long motor life. These fans operate at a reduced noise level and are designed to accommodate a variety of gas or electric heaters for use on drying bins where higher capacities are required. Models are available from 5-40 HP with static pressures up to 11". GSI also manufactures a 3500 RPM centrifugal fan designed to operate in static pressures up to 22" and is mostly used with tall tanks or small grains tanks with high resistance to airflow.
Vane-Axial Heaters
Whether you're natural air drying or heat drying grain, all GSI drying fans give you the option of adding a heater if the need arises. With capacities up to 2.7 million BTU/hr., our vane axial fan and heater combination provide the best in high capacity grain drying. Vane axial heaters are available in 18" through 28" diameter, liquid propane, propane vapor or natural gas.
Cut-Lok Flooring
"Cut-Lok" flooring is the strongest plank offered from GSI. This flooring is designed with a 12% opening that prevents any restriction to airflow, lanced extrusions and deep corrugated ribs across a crowned surface for maximum stability.
Cor-Lok Flooring
GSI's "Cor-Lok" flooring is available in 18 and 20 gauge and features a 12% open round-hole perforation that prevents any restriction in airflow. The full width corrugation and smooth surface provide easy cleaning and make this floor a popular choice. The 20 gauge "Cor-Lok" is also available in a small grains perforation.
Grandstand Patented
Locking Tab Supports
Patented* locking tabs attach supports to the GSI plank flooring to avoid support movement during installation or fan operation in empty bins. Available in 18 gauge and 20 gauge. Tab supports lock to the floor in two different positions to prevent movement.
Cross Duct Systems
All Size Perforating: Designed to give you instant aeration in any grain storage area. Super in quonsets. The entire system can be installed or removed in just a few minutes. There are no bolts or screws. In larger areas the ducts simply overlap.
The extra large perforated center promotes higher air flows through the middle of your bin for a more uniform drying front. Available in 2 sizes. 15" - 18 and 20 gauge. Transitions are also available.
