10 Good Reasons
|
Why Choose OPICO?
|
|
Introduction - Put you in control of your harvest whatever the weather.
Why get caught out by another wet harvest when OPICO's Grain Dryers have the solution.
Easy to install and relocate when necessary, OPICO Grain Dryers do not require vast expenditure on handling equipment and our Gas Grain Dryers can easily dry up to 168 tons per day automatically, with minimal supervision. Using diesel or gas and with 3 phase or PTO drive OPICO dryers recirulate the grain constantly to dry thoroughly and consistantly whilst imporving hectolitre weights and augmenting quality.

Why Choose OPICO?
|
|
Introduction - 10 Good Reasons why to use recirculating batch dryer?
|
Recirculating - Constant mixing for even drying. |
|
Augers - Polishes the grain, improving sample. |
|
Grain Cleaner - Removes weed seeds and broken grains improving hectolitre weight. |
|
Grain is Constantly Moving - Airflow through crop is better decreasing drying time. |
|
Wet or Dry - Can handle and dry the very wettest of grain. |
|
Forced Drying and Cooling - YOU'RE in control, grain is ready to sell when YOU want. |
|
Self Contained - Minimal additional handling equipment required. |
|
Quiet - To reduce noise in sensitive areas. |
|
Resale Value - Being portable OPICO Dryers retain a high resale value |
|
Flexibility - Can be adapted to fit into most drying systems |

10 Good Reasons

Why Choose OPICO?

Introduction - Why choose OPICO?
Minimise non drying time
Loading time and unloading time is dead time when using a dryer, OPICO dryers have high capacity loading augers, recirculating augers and unloading augers, reducing non drying time and increasing throughput.
Air flow through the grain
The more air you can blow through grain the more quickly grain will dry and cool, OPICO dryers have high capacity fans in relation to the size of the dryer which speeds up drying and cooling decreasing batch time and increasing throughput.
Heating the grain
Larger burners attain the drying temperatures more quickly and maintain more consistant drying temperature, decreasing drying time and increasing throughput.
Size of the drying zone
The size of the plenum chamber in a grain dryer dictates the amount of grain that is being dryed at any one time. The holding capacity of a grain dryer is irrelevant to the drying capacity, the larger the plenum area, the higher drying capacity. (See image)

Gas Grain Dryer Features
Features |
|
|  Liquid Gas Vaporiser and Ring Burner
 Grain Guard Controller
 Push Button Controls
 Epoxy Coated Sheets
 Custom Built Centrifugal Fan
 Axial Fan
|
Liquid Gas Vaporiser and Ring Burner
Efficient Clean Drying
The gas is piped into the burner unit in liquid form and passes through a vaporising ring before being burnt in a ring burner, as liquid gas expands 100 times to become vapour this ensures high temperatures can be attained easily. As gas burns very cleanly, apart from long term servicing, little input is required by the operator. |
|
|
Grain Guard Controller
Operator Guidance and self Diagnostics (395QF, 595QF, 600QF, 795QF, 800QF Models ONLY) More Info
Models with the Grain Guard fitted benefit from a menu system which guides the operator through setting his dryer up for a particular mode of operation and for specific crops with example temperatures preset into the controller. The Grain Guard also has a diagnostic function which controls the fail safes and will highlight the problem if there is one. |
|
|
Push Button Controls
Simple operation (355XL, 555XL, 575QF Models ONLY)
The base models have simple push button and turn dial controls to allow the operator to quickly and easily set the dryer up for work, they also incorporate fail safes to prevent problems in the event of any mechanical failure. |
|
|
Epoxy Coated Sheets
longevity
The outer screens on GT dryers are covered in an Epoxy coating to prevent corrosion and prolong the life of the dryer |
|
|
Custom Built Centrifugal Fan
Quiet for sensitive areas (QF Models ONLY)
QF Models use a large custom built centrifugal fan to create the airflow required to dry with, as the fan blades do not cut through the air aggressively this produces less noise resulting in a decibel rating of 74 and the ability to work 24 hours a day in noise sensitive areas. |
 |
|
Axial Fan
Simple low cost fan (XL Models ONLY)
XL Models use a propeller type bladed fan to provide the airflow for drying the grain, this is cost effective but has a decibel rating of 104 so it not suitable for noise sensitive areas. |

GT Sky-Vac Dust Extractor Grain Cleaner
The SkyVac is a powerful grain cleaner which removes the trash,
dust and fines from the grain as it is dried, leaving you with
precisely what you want in store - a cleaner better finished sample
with a higher hectolitre weight.
With regard to safety and the environment, the new SkyVac is a
major inroad into the problem of dust in the atmosphere. You and
your staff can now work in a far cleaner, less dusty environment
and get the benefits
of a better sample at
the same time.

Guard Guard Box
|
|
GT Grain Guard Guard Control Box
|
 The OPICO grain dryer models 395QF, 595QF, 600QF, 795QF, 800QF
feature the unique controls for safer accurate drying
The GT Grain Guard Control Box has a self diagnostic fault finder which automatically monitors all drying functions
on the dryer
These include drying temperature, grain
temperature, flame failure, power failure, fan failure, fuel
supply, agitator, auger and PTO speeds
During the entire time the dryer is in
operation the electrical supply is monitored
Should any of the functions of the dryer
fail the gas supply is automatically shut off, a precise message is given on a LCD read out
The safety and fault diagnosis is carried
out automatically
Maintenance and servicing is made more effective and almost immediate diagnosis of any fault can be
made by the operator thus requiring minimal service intervention
