The right grain dryer prevents spoilage, saves time & energy, and safeguards the value of your hard work.
Before exploring dryer options, take a moment to consider a few important questions.
Sharing your answers with us will help us design the perfect system for you.
What commodity are you drying?
Crops, especially specialty commodities, might require low-temperature drying.
What capacity do you need? (How fast can you harvest?)
How might your operation expand in the future?
Do you have an existing system that might limit your options? Or are you starting from scratch?
If you're replacing a dryer, the current setup might restrict your choices, especially regarding the available space or footprint.
What's your budget?
Dryers come at various price points. Remember to also factor in the cost of equipment for filling and unloading the dryer.
How much maintenance are you willing to do?
Some dryers have more moving parts than others, requiring additional maintenance.
The all-in-one solution for drying and storing your grain. Save space, maximize efficiency, and take control of your post-harvest operations.
Choose from a range of drying capacities, from 607 to 2,176 bushels per hour (BPH). The right capacity for your operation depends on your specific needs and chosen configuration.
The TopDry is a highly efficient grain drying system for those who want to optimize or streamline their operations.
Very Efficient
The TopDry's unique design features help you save energy and optimize your drying process. Its peaked drying floor maximizes the area exposed to drying air, boosting drying capacity. The system also cleverly reuses heat from the cooling grain to pre-dry the next batch. Plus, strategically placed fans and heaters ensure even drying throughout.
Simple Process
The TopDry keeps things straightforward. No need for extra equipment like grain spreaders or complex leveling systems. Internal levelling bands automatically maintain an even grain depth, ensuring consistent drying without any extra work on your part. Gravity does the heavy lifting, meaning fewer moving parts and less maintenance.
Automatic Option
The AutoFlow TopDry takes simplicity to the next level with complete automation. It handles filling, drying, and discharge on its own, adjusting fans and heaters based on real-time grain conditions. This means less manual work and worry for you.
Build-In Storage
Combine drying and storage with the TopDry. This gives you extra space to finish off your harvest or can be your all-in-one solution when starting out.
Easy Monitoring & Control
The TopDry Terminal's large colour touchscreen and easy-to-use interface simplify operation and monitoring. Conveniently install the control box remotely in a dedicated control room for additional flexibility.
High-capacity drying for maximum efficiency. Engineered to handle massive volumes with advanced technology to ensure consistent, high-quality results.
GSI tower dryers offer an impressive range of drying capacities, from 1,200 to a remarkable 12,000 bushels per hour, depending on the model and configuration.
Large-scale grain operations that need to dry substantial quantities of grain quickly while maintaining its quality. Tower dryers are built to last and excel in demanding environments.
Grain Protection
Tower dryers are engineered to preserve the premium condition of your grain. They carefully balance drying time, airflow, and temperature to prevent damage. Features like a self-cleaning receiving chamber and a garner bin further safeguard your grain quality.
Consistent, Even Drying
Patented grain inverters ensure that every kernel is dried evenly, maximizing grain quality and resulting in higher test weights and lower fuel costs.
Easy to Operate and Maintain
A touchscreen control panel and a PLC system make operation and troubleshooting simple. Monitor your dryer remotely with the optional WatchDog system.
Efficient Heat Distribution
Mixed-flow blowers and Maxon burners distribute heat efficiently throughout the dryer, optimizing performance.
Durability and Longevity
Tower dryers are constructed with heavy-duty materials and industrial-quality components, including stainless steel exterior sheeting.
Drying flexibility. Portable dryers offer a range of sizes and configurations to suit your operation, providing the flexibility to dry grain efficiently with minimal additional infrastructure.
Drying capacities range from 420 to an impressive 4,000 bushels per hour (BPH), while grain holding capacities span from 219 to 1,995 bushels, depending on the model and configuration.
Operators who require flexibility in drying options or want to increase grain drying capacity without increasing the footprint. The portability of these dryers makes them a versatile solution.
Quiet Operation
GSI Quiet Dryers are significantly quieter than other axial fan dryers, making them more comfortable to work around.
Advanced Dryer Control
The Vision Network Dryer Control system simplifies operation with an intuitive touchscreen interface. Control drying based on temperature and moisture levels for optimal results.
Easy to Operate and Maintain
A touchscreen control panel and a PLC system streamline operation and troubleshooting. Monitor your dryer remotely with the optional WatchDog system.
Auto-Start
Save valuable time with the Vision Auto-Start feature, which automates the start-up process.
X-Stream Technology (Optional)
The innovative X-Stream design, featuring staggered fans and heaters, delivers even more uniform heat distribution, resulting in even higher quality grain and improved efficiency.
Don't let your harvest go to waste. Proper grain storage protects your yield, keeping it in prime condition until you're ready to sell.
Before exploring storage options, take a moment to consider a few important questions.
Sharing your answers with us will help us find the perfect solution for you.
From field to storage, seamlessly. Efficient material handling minimizes delays and protects your grain every step of the way.
Before exploring material handling options, take a moment to consider a few important questions. Sharing your answers with us will help us design the perfect system for you.
How quickly do you want to unload commodities?
What type of equipment are you using to haul grain into your system?
How many receiving pits do you need?
Freestanding or Cabled?
Capacity?
Future expansion?
Wet path split from dry path? (# of elevators needed)
Electrical or manual distributor?
How fast are your other machines (like your dryer or conveyor) moving grain?
You'll want your elevator to keep up, but be careful not to oversize, as this can negatively impact the quality of the grain.
Do you prefer a traditional chain conveyor, a versatile Versaloop system, an auger, or a high-capacity air system?
Each has its own advantages depending on your needs.
Streamline your operation to boost your bottom line. Automated systems reduce labour costs, minimize errors, and increase efficiency, leading to higher profits.
Simplicity and Ease of Use
Push-button control systems are straightforward and require minimal training. They are perfect for smaller operations or those with less technical expertise.
Lower Initial Cost
Push-button controls are a more budget-friendly option compared to PLC automated systems.
Easier Maintenance
Due to their inherent simplicity, push-button systems are easier to maintain and troubleshoot.
Improved Safety
PLC systems enhance safety through comprehensive monitoring, troubleshooting capabilities, and built-in safety features.
