We've dried 400mt of wheat and 100mt of canola so far with a 220K Btu diesel heater and 5HP air fans in 3000bu flat bottoms.
It heats the air up to about 40 degrees. Only fill bin half way, so 1 B train per bin. Run heat for 36 hours to take 20% wheat to 13 or 16% canola to 11.
Trick is to only half fill the bin... and have lots of air so you actually heat the air space above the grain and then pump the moist air out of the bin... You still get a bit of crusty stuff but as soon as it's dried, and has had 12 hours of cooling, remove it from that bin... and fill it and start all over again. Works slick!!!
