Opico has launched the new gas-fired GT8000 Automatic recirculating mobile batch dryer in the UK. With a 21t holding capacity, it’s 3t larger than the next biggest dryer in the GT range.
The GT8000 is a multiple motor, three-phase powered grain dryer that uses liquid propane gas to deliver heat for drying. The specially designed ring burner and onboard vaporiser provide controllable heat and a clean, efficient burn.
The new dryer is fully automatic and uses Grain Guard, a digital controller that allows the machine to be programmed for round-the-clock drying, thus providing large labour savings. Grain Guard incorporates pre-set drying temperatures for different crops, and the dryer sequence can be tailored to suit the farm set-up. A diagnostic function also provides further support.
A large plenum maximises the hourly drying rate of the GT8000, enabling a throughput of up to 7.5t/hr.
The GT8000 dryer costs £54,472+VAT (price correct at November 2013).
