Big Bale Drier Ventus 2400 - your guarantee for dry strawVentus 2400The Kongskilde Ventus 2400 drying system is designed for the drying of straw in big bales.The drying process takes place in a drying section, which holds one big bale at a time.Wet bales are placed on a conveyor, from where they are conveyed one by one to the drying section.The required drying time is set on a timer. When the bale is dried in the required drying time it is automatically moved out of the drying section, to be replaced by the next wet bale.Dry bales emerging from the drying section are moved onto a push section. Once on the push section the dry bale is pushed sideways on to the floor. Depending of the smoothness of the floor this can normally be done up to a maximum of 8 bales. The dry bales are then placed side by side on the floor ready to be picked up with a fork lift.Ventus 2400• High capacity fan fitted with efficient IE2 motor.• The modular system makes it easy to build systems adapted to individual requirements both on the wet and dry side of the drier.• The conveying chain runs on a low friction liner.• The drying spears have a wear resistant low friction coating, reducing potential bale damage.• The drying spears have a spring-loaded connection to the air distribution head, thereby minimizing any potential impact damage when introduced in to the bale.• The hydraulic pump station is equipped with temperature and level control.• The blower motor has a soft start device, giving a smooth start up.• When running in drying mode the dryer is automatically controlled by a control panel. The controls can be set to manual, allowing for manual running of each function via a touch screen.Technical InformationVentus 2400 enables• Wet bales to be turned into a saleable product• Baler and tractor to be utilised more efficiently• An increased amount of straw to be harvested• In-field cost reductions• Improved quality of harvested strawStandard control panel• The panel contains a communication module which auto- matically calls a designated number if the wet bale stock runs out, or if the drier stops for any other reason• Router for remote support prepared for USB modem or cable• Remote control for reversing of conveyor on wet side, allowing for central loading of wet bales • Displays programme historyBale dimensionsWidth ................................................................................. 1200 mmHeight .................................................................... 1200 – 1300 mmLength ................................................................... 2200 – 2500 mmMotors installed (3 x 400V) Blower ......................................................................................37 kWHydraulic pump .....................................................................5,5 kWChain conveyor ..................................................................0,55 kW(min 2 depending on conveyor length)Power supply to panel: .................................................... 125Amp.Typical consumptionBlower ............................................................................ app. 26 kWOil heater .......................................................................... 7,7-12 l/hKongskilde Industries A/STel. +45 33 68 36 00mail@kongskilde.comwww.kongskilde.comSubject to be changed without notice. 121001802 EXP/GB/Ventus/0512½ hour, moisture content in bale varies from 25 – 35% H2O¾ hour, moisture content in bale varies from 35 – 45% H2OBlower 13 kWh 20 kWhOil heater 3,8 l 5,7 lExamples of energy consumption for dryingThe below values for drying capacity and energy consumption are only intended as a guide, as a number of external factors - primarily the relative humidity and the air temperature - affect the drying time and moisture content.When drying with warm air from oil heater, the following values for energy consumption can be used as guideline:½ hour, 25 – 35% H2O¾ hour 35 – 45% H2OBlower 13 kWh 20 kWhStraw for burner 14 kg 21 kgWhen drying with warm air from straw burner, the following values for energy consumption can be used as guideline:Floor requirementsHigh load bearing concrete, uncracked (C25/30)Floor space Drying section with spearhead ......................app. 3,1 m x 4,7 mPush station with drive section .......................app. 3,0 m x 4,0 mConveyor section w. o. drive section ........app. 2,95 m x 1,25 mConveyor section w. o. drive section, incl. post ...................................................... app. 2,95 m x 1,38 mDrive section ...................................................app. 0,53 m x 1,7 mLength conveyor section .....................................................2,95 mLength drive section .............................................................0,40 mNumber of sections per drive, one-way ..............................5 pcs.Number of conveyor sections per drive, two-way.............4 pcs.Number of bales which can be pushed on the floor by the push station (smooth concrete) .......................................... 8 pcs.Number of bales that can be pushed sidewards can beincreased by installing sheets of low friction material on the floor.Technical InformationConditions:The bale is dried until a moisture content of 13% is reached in a minimum of 85% of the straw at an outdoor temprature of 20°C. Large variations in the moisture content may occur in the individual bale before drying.Complete drying of some very wet areas in the bale will demand longer drying time. Normally it should not be necessary to dry the bale for such a long time that all areas within the bale are dried to the final level.The temperature of the air and the relative humidity will also have an impact on the drying capacity. The drying capacity will be larger in warm and dry conditions than in cold or humid conditions.Heater Heat outputkW/kcalFuel consumption, l/hAir flowm3/hHeatingof air ?t. °CRemarksKAI 300HC 58/59,000 7,8 6,500 27KM 100X 85/92,400 9,5 6,500 33,2KM 130X 129/111,000 12 38KS125 w. 2 stage burner149/128,14075/64,500max. 15,2min. 7,6 6,5006030 max. 60 °CKS 150 w.2 stage burner173/148,78087/74,820max. 17,6min. 8,86,500 7035 max. 60 °CHeat outputkW/kcalAir flowm3/hHeatingof air ?t. °CHot waterl/sec Inlet °C Outlet °CHot water radiator 150 kW 145/125,000 6,500 58 1,9 80 60Hot water radiator 175 kW 163/140,000 6,500 65 2,14 80 60HeatersHot water radiator?t = the diffrence between the tempera-ture required and the minimum tempera-ture outdoor.
