There is another screen cone inside the shell you see. The corn fills the space between the screens and is about 18" thick there. The fan you see in the square box is run from the tractor and there is a big burner in there. The fan pushes the hot air through the corn heating it and sweating the water out. You bring the corn up to a temp that sweats enough water out then the burner turns off and the fan cools it back down. The upright auger in these draws the corn up from the bottom and drops it on top continuously circulating it and mixing it so the moisture gets even. The upper part is a holding area where the hot corn sits and sweats for a while so the water releases quicker making these pretty efficient. A batch takes about 4 hours at 25% going down to 14 1/2% which is where most dry to for storage. 15% is what the elevators want to buy at, but around here we can have storage issues at that moisture unless the bins have good ventilation. For nonvented bins we need to be down to 13.5% or so.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
