Layout and Clearance (Continued)
7. Locate the electrical control system (consists of power box and control box) for the convenience of
the dryer operator, where visibility and access are best.
Can locate control box directly below a motor window to allow installation of wiring conduit in a
direct run. (Advisable or Recommended.)
8. The fuel train (with maxon gas valves, modutrol motor, pilot fuel train, and pilot solenoid) is usually
anchored to the foundation directly below the dryer, or secured to dryer legs.
9. The fuel piping enters the dryer through a window in the cool section, then runs up the center of the
dryer to the burner in the heat section. (Multi-fan models only.)
Contact grain systems for assistance in planning tower dryer layout.
Foundation
Tower dryers should be installed on reinforced concrete foundations. (Poured to GSI specifications.)
For such foundations, engineering usually requires the following information:
1. Soil analysis and bearing strength.
2. Climatic and seismic conditions for the location.
3. Size and weights of the dryer, both empty and full of grain.
4. Specifications for the concrete and reinforcing steel to be used in the construction.
Contact grain systems for assistance in assessing tower dryer foundation requirements.
Safety check before each lift of dryer.
Check for clearance from existing power lines, equipment and structures.
