Dave in Michigan
Dave dries about 250,000 bu/year of corn, wheat and soybeans with his 1612 model Grain Handler dryer. He has had his Dryer Master DM510 since 2016.
What had you heard about Dryer Master before you purchased one?
I had seen DM at trade shows. DM came highly recommended by our dryer dealer.
How does the Dryer Master change the way that you dry, from an operational perspective?
The DM gives me better information to monitor my drying operation.
How often do you typically calibrate your outlet moisture sensor? And what is your calibration procedure?
Every 2 to 3 hours depending on incoming moisture. We take a few samples into a pail, mix and test.
Do you use DM-Mobile? If so how do you use it (phone/PC/home/at night?), how often do you use it?
I use DM-Mobile to check the dryer at night from home on my phone. If things are running smoothly, a couple of times before bed and 1st thing in the morning – if conditions are tough, several times while away from dryer.
Have you contacted Dryer Master Support Center? And if so, what was the experience?
DM support is fantastic! They’re always helpful and work on a problem until it’s resolved. Very responsive.
Mike in Wisconsin
Mike has had his DryerMaster DM510 since 2016. He uses it with his MC 1075 dryer to dry over 500,000 bushels of corn a year.
How does the Dryer Master change the way that you dry, from an operational perspective?
The Dryer Master allows us to dry every bushel to the same moisture, day in and day out. Lets us watch the dryer every day, every hour. We always know whats going on.
How often do you typically calibrate your outlet moisture sensor? And what is your calibration procedure?
We calibrate at least 2 times a day at a minimum. We run samples out the dryer against our moisture meter, and calibrate using those samples, checking them at least three times and taking an average.
Do you use DM-Mobile? If so how do you use it (phone/PC/home/at night?), how often do you use it?
Phone. 20 times a day at least.
Is there anything you would like to see changed in the Dryer Master (new features?)
I would like to see multiple burner temps on the Dryer Master. (DM Note: The DM510 currently monitors one drying air temperature in the dryer.)
