Drier Automation:

• Moisture is monitored online, hence control is achieved uniformly and consistently.
• As the rate of reduction in moisture is uniform, the cracking of grain is minimized.
• The dried paddy is discharged at accurate moisture, which means paddy is sent for milling at right moisture content.
• This results in a reduction of broken rice in milling.
• In manual operation, the quality of the output depends upon the skill of the operator.
• With automation, the dependency on the operator is minimized.
• The system changes temp. and other parameters automatically, avoiding human error.
• As the moisture is monitored online, the system will automatically change temperature, if required, to keep the moisture level steady at every step.
• The rotor is driven by AC drive; hence, different speeds can be set during loading, unloading and recirculation.
• The fan is also driven by AC drive. Thus different airflows can be set at different temperature settings, achieving better results.
• Overall, all parameters can be set through a single command, just by selecting the blend of paddy, using recipe system in SCADA.
• All the data is recorded. Hence historical trends can be seen for every batch of paddy.
