Lowell has had his Dryer Master DM510 for three years. He uses it on his 4024 Grain Handler dryer, drying about 1 million bushels of corn per year. How much training was required to operate the Dryer Master?  A couple hours. How does the Dryer Master change the way you dry?  I can go do other work and not worry about the dryer adjustments. Did anything surprise you about the Dryer Master?  The simplicity. Compared to manual sampling how much difference does having real time moisture information make? Why? Big difference. We have a large wet bin and if we get a wetter variet ..read more

Kenton has had his Dryer Master DM510 for four years. He uses it on his Grain Handler dryer to dry about 250,000 bushels of corn a year. What convinced you to buy a Dryer Master in the first place?  What I first liked about the Dryer Master was that it has an input sensor as well as an output sensor so it can anticipate  changes. How often do you calibrate your sensors? I calibrate the input sensor twice a year and the output sensor about every 3 hours of drying time or when there is a bigger change  of input moisture or a hybrid change.  It seems like different hybrids do ..read more

Richard dries about 800,000 bushels a year of corn and beans in his 3,500 bu. capacity grain dryer, a dryer that he is looking to add more tiers to to get even more capacity. He has had his Dryer Master DM510 since 2011. For the 2017 season, he upgraded by adding DM Mobile, Dryer Master’s remote access application. How does the Dryer Master change the way you dry? Using the Dryer Master changes the way we harvest, such as which fields we are going to harvest next.  We are not as concerned about the moisture content in each field. How often do you calibrate the outlet sensor, and what pro ..read more

Mark is relatively new to Dryer Master. He has had his DM510 for two years now. He uses it to dry about 500,000 bushels of corn and wheat in his Delux dryer. Why did you buy a Dryer Master in the first place. It was recommended by my dealer. Have you found a financial difference in your drying performance using Dryer Master? In what way? The Dryer Master is a management tool. It saves money by not over drying or under drying the grain. This saves in minimizing grain shrink and moisture dock and it gives gas savings. Is there anything you would like to see changed in the Dryer Master (new ..read more

Joe has had a Dryer Master for 20 years. He started with a DM500 and recently updated to a DM510 model. His site dries about 500,000 bushels a year of corn and wheat and sometimes soybeans with their Zimmerman dryer. The first photo is of the outlet sensor installation. Why did you buy a Dryer Master in the first place? The Dryer Master allowed us to have an inlet sensor which helps with anticipating the speed of the dryer whether in automatic or manual. Before we were chasing and guessing but after it was installed it allowed us to be a lot more consistent in our drying. How often ..read more

Jared is a new Dryer Master user who added a Dryer Master to his Grain Handler dryer in 2016. He uses it to dry about 250,000 bushels of corn a year. Did anything surprise you about how your Dryer Master worked when you first used it? I was very pleased with the simplicity and how user friendly the DM510 was to learn and operate. Do you use DM-Mobile? If so how do you use it (phone/PC/home/at night?), how often do you use it? Since I’m in the field and not at our dryer, I use DM Mobile all day every day to continually monitor the dryer.  I also check DM-Mobile just before I go to bed and ..read more

Chris has a Grain Handler 2416 dryer that he uses to dry about 500,000 bushels of White and Yellow Food Grade Corn. He has had his DM510 for 2 years now. His DM510 is conveniently located right next to where he does his manual moisture tests. Why did you buy a Dryer Master in the first place? We bought the DM510 to automate and remotely control our Grain Handler 2416. How often do you typically calibrate your outlet moisture sensor? And what is your calibration procedure? During harvest we sample and calibrate every 1 to 1.5 hours.  We press the sample button, run it through our Perten t ..read more

Trevor dries less than 250,000 bushels annually of corn and wheat with his Grain Handler dryer. He has had his  Dryer Master DM510 for three seasons now. What had you heard about Dryer Master before you purchased one? Advanced Grain Handling suggested a Dryer Master because that is what they had and really liked it. We wanted something that was smart phone capable and we are glad we got the Dryer Master. Why did you buy a Dryer Master in the first place? To be more productive… We couldn’t run 24 hours a day before the Dryer Master because we didn’t want to under dry or over dry.. wi ..read more

Brian is a long time Dryer Master user, having used Dryer Master systems for over 25 years now. He dries over a million bushels a year of Non-GMO waxy corn and has a wealth of experience to share. Brian recently updated his two DM500 systems to two new DM510 systems to go on his two Zimmerman grain dryers, one a AP4500 and the other a Zimmerman VT3026. Why did you buy  Dryer Masters in the first place? We were looking for a way to take the guesswork out of drying.  Because we are a long term storage facility with minimal outbound blending capabilities, we needed consi ..read more

Aaron has a smaller 1610 Grain Handler dryer that he uses to dry about 200,000 bushels of oats and corn. He has now had his DM510 for 2 seasons and uses the Dryer Master moisture sensor chute with a rotary feed which helps provide a consistent flow of product past the outlet moisture sensor. Why did you buy a Dryer Master in the first place? I had not heard anything about Dryer Master but my bin dealer and the Grain Handler folks recommended it. How does the Dryer Master change the way that you dry, or help your drying operations from an operational perspective? It allows me to be a little fre ..read more
