Total Dryer Management

Your QUANTUM® Controller provides accuracy in controlling moisture during the grain drying process. It works with any current BROCK® Commercial Tower Dryer, MEYER Energy Miser® Tower Dryer, and/or SUPERB Energy Miser® Low-Profile Dryer (including SQ Series Dryers).

In all modes of drying, the Controller includes a unique moving moisture target feature. Through Moisture Sensors at load and unload areas, the Controller anticipates the final moisture of the grain reaching the bin and manages that grain’s moisture content as it moves through the Dryer. The Controller does this by monitoring fluctuating moisture levels in incoming grain and temperature changes in exiting grain (resulting from different hybrids)

 

Quality Control

The QUANTUM ® Controller is able to regulate the discharge speed of the grain to match the capacity of the unloading system. A variable speed AC Drive adjusts the speed of the unloading system as needed. To prevent over-drying grain, the Controller can automatically reduce the plenum heat if the unloading rate limit is exceeded. A Modulating Motor operating a Butterfly Valve controls the volume of fuel going to the Dryer’s Burner, thus controlling the plenum temperature.

Other features include a Burner cycle timer, AMC, batch timer kit, CF auxiliary unload delay timer, minor alarm timer, cooldown timer, exit grain temperature limit, wet grain sampler, unload rate limit, and moisture sensor.
