TAM Brock - Grain Dryer Controllers
Grain is often harvested before it has dried adequately due to various weather conditions and logistical constraints in farming. As a result, drying the grain before long-term storage is crucial to maintain its quality and prevent spoilage. Grain dryer controllers play a pivotal role by working alongside grain drying equipment to ensure the proper temperature is maintained throughout the drying process. These controllers utilize sensors for automated drying, thereby achieving the optimal moisture content. TAM Systems offers a range of high-quality grain drying control products from Brock Grain Systems, Inc., a reputable manufacturer in the grain handling, storage, and conditioning industry for over 60 years. The product lineup includes the Brock Spectrum and Quantum models. The Spectrum is a standard operating system designed for straightforward automation of the drying process, offering both continuous flow and batch operation versions with automatic moisture control. The Quantum unit provides more comprehensive drying management, with functionalities like wet and dry grain moisture monitoring and options for wired or wireless internet access. The newest addition, the INTUI-DRY™ controller, introduces advanced algorithms for improved control, reliability, and ease of use. TAM Systems provides solutions that cater to a wide range of grain drying projects, ensuring better quality and consistency in the final product.
Grain is often harvested before it has fully dried in the field due to weather conditions and farming logistics. Drying the grain prior to long term storage is essential for ensuring the highest quality and preventing spoilage. Controllers work in tandem with grain drying equipment to maintain the appropriate temperature throughout the drying process. These advanced systems rely on sensors for automated drying that produces the ideal moisture content.
