Grain dryer FAV series

cerealstationarycontinuous

Overview
The FAV Series is a continuous-cycle grain dryer designed for large-capacity drying of cereals. It combines an intuitive management interface with a robust mechanical design to deliver uniform drying and straightforward operation for farms and collection centers handling high throughputs.

Why Choose the FAV Series

• Ease of Use
  Ready for immediate operation via an intuitive control interface, reducing operator training and start-up time.
• Compact Efficiency
  High productivity within a limited footprint, suitable for sites with restricted operational area.
• Continuous Operation
  Linear, constant processing that ensures uniform moisture reduction across large volumes.

Key Components

• Fans
  Top-mounted fans generate dryer airflow and are fitted with silencers and dampers to limit noise and dust emissions.
• Extraction Device
  Oscillating-flap extraction ensures precise, homogeneous and continuous outflow of grain.
• Air Ducts
  Duct profiles are optimized to promote grain flow and efficient heat exchange between hot air and grain.
• Stairs and Walkways
  External and internal access for safe inspections and routine maintenance, ensuring operator safety.
• Heat Generator
  In-line air burner provides accurate and uniform temperature control; available for methane, LPG and diesel.
• Base Frame
  Support frame with integrated hopper designed for reliable extraction; structure engineered to resist seismic, wind and accidental loads.

Drying Process

• Air intake
  Process air is drawn from the environment and heated before entering the grain column.
• Hot air circulation
  Hot air from the burner passes through the grain, transferring heat and absorbing moisture.
• Product cooling
  In the lower section the dried product is cooled with ambient air prior to extraction.
• Exhaust air expulsion
  Moisture-laden exhaust air is expelled from the dryer to maintain drying efficiency.

Complementary Technologies

• VAP System
  STRAHL-designed technology for additional reduction of dust emissions.
• Moisture Control System
  Continuous monitoring of product moisture to tighten control over the drying cycle.
• Extraction Speed Regulator
  Optional inverter for adjustable product extraction speed.
• Supplementary Temperature Monitoring
  Additional probes available to monitor temperatures in multiple dryer sections more precisely.

Control Systems
The intuitive control system manages the drying process in real time, detects alerts and optimizes parameters to ensure consistent drying performance.
