10. Drying RecommendationsTo get uniform drying of grain in a bin, a uniform flow of air through the grain is required. Some of thefactors affecting this air flow are:1. Grain cleanliness2. Grain depth3. Grain moistureThe amount of fines and trash in the grain is best controlled by use of a grain cleaner before the grain isput in the bin. A good spreader should also be used to distribute the fines and level the grain as muchas possible.Fines tend to congregate in the middle of the bin, thus leading to a restriction of the air flow in that area.So it is good to leave the center as much as 3'-4' low to balance the air flow between the center and thebin wall. The Red Giant will tend to continually level the grain.Grain moisture of up to 26% is the optimum to dry in the bin with the Red Giant. Grain depths of up to 18'can be dried in a single fill with the Red Giant. Using air only (no heat) until grain depth reaches 6' to 8',helps establish a uniform drying front. If air tubes or liners are used, the grain should be at least 2' overthe top of them before heat is added to prevent channeling a large amount of the air away from the middle.A fast fill is preferred and the Red Giant can be started when the grain depth is 3'-5'.With 27%-30% moisture grain, some caution should be used in filling the bin above 15'. In this case,cleaning the grain becomes more important since more cracking is done to moist corn during combining.After the grain is dried below 25%, then additional grain can be added.Drying grain with 30%-35% moisture is inefficient but is sometimes done out of necessity. Here again,filling twice is recommended - first cleaning the grain, then filling 10' to 15' deep, then drying down to 25%.After that, filling up to 18' depth will give better results.Grain testing over 35% moisture should not be harvested for drying except under emergency conditions.Harvest damage will be excessive and drying will be very difficult and expensive. The only course to befollowed under these conditions is to fill the bin slowly and supervise constantly.NOTE: The higher the moisture of the grain, the lower the starting temperature should be, to minimize wallcondensation and ensure highest quality of grain.Disconnect all power to unit before using a pipe wrench (or other means ofleverage) on the augers.If the Red Giant is stopped in a full bin of grain, caution must be used whenrestarting to prevent damage to the machine and/or the grain bin. Before startingthe Red Giant Stir-Ator, hook the belt idlers into the neutral position. After themotor has been started, engage each idler slowly until all augers are rotating. Ifthis procedure does not start the auger, you may have to break them loose with apipe wrench. Care needs to be exercised when breaking augers loose with apipe wrench (or other means of leverage) so the bin Stir-Ator and track are notdamaged. Blocking the unit up might be necessary to break the augers loose.80 PNEG-1358 Red Giant Grain Stir-Ator
Operation Recommendations10. Drying RecommendationsTo keep from bending the Red Giant Stir-Ator augers while emptying the bin, it may be necessary to runthe unit intermittently.Do not operate the Red Giant in an empty bin.To test the Red Giant in an empty bin, be sure no one is inside the bin, then switchthe power “ON” and “OFF” immediately. Do not leave power ON.PNEG-1358 Red Giant Grain Stir-Ator 81
