Central Minnesota | Have had top dry continuous flow since 1989. 27 ft diamater. Had one burner till about 2004 and then added second burner. With 2nd burner we have dust build up on bottom of drying floor so have to dump entire batch out and start over about every 2 to 3 days. We have a moisture controller made by Optek, Inc. of Galena Ohio. It works very well but they don't make them any more. The good points are it is pretty simple and drys pretty fast for the amount of horsepower the fans use. I would say most of the bad points in our case involve the fill augers we use to fill it. Should have a leg instead of an auger system but get by. Just have to put up with keeping the augers running. Dry about 8000 bu per day when corn is over 27% and cold out to more then we can keep up with when the corn is under 21 and the weather is warm.
