Sac & Story county IA | I mostly agree with your observations of continuous dryers. One bigger thing is on a continuous is that if the wind is wrong, the cob dust and leaves will blow near the fan and be sucked inside. If there gets to be a pile in the heat chamber and a piece of leaf going by the flame and into the pile catches fire, the thing starts to burn. Also, on the metering rolls, if sticks and leaves build up on a cross brace, the flow is interupted. On my old one you could see the rolls working and knock the stuff loose. On this one you can't see. But that fire on the inside is what gets most of them that I have seen. Supposed to stop and check inside every day. probably only take 10 minutes but I haven't done it much in 20 some years of running the thing. | |
