Whether you choose a Sukup Axial Dryer or a Sukup Centrifugal Dryer, you can be confident in the quality and performance of the fan and heater at the heart of the dryer. AXIAL vs CENTRIFUGAL Pressure Performance Axial Fans perform best at low pressures and Centrifugal Fans perform best at higher pressures. Vacuum cooling requires higher pressures so Centrifugal Fans are the practical solution for that application. Running Noise/Sound Even though we use 1750 RPM fans in our Axial Dryers (compared to the 3500 RPM fans used on Sukup Grain Bins), the Centrifugal Dryer is quieter, so if you have...

Sukup’s exclusive, patented Quad Metering Roll System reduces overdrying, minimizes grain damage and maintains grain quality. Unload auger is suspended by hanger bearings to eliminate pinch points and grain damage. Unload auger clean-out doors feature cam-lock handles. Easy-to-handle, single latch cleanout doors on outside of dryer allow fast column unloading and access to metering rolls. Interior clean-out doors allow access to the top metering rolls. 44”x 16” plenum access doors provide easy access to the unload auger. RTD measures the air temperature inside the plenum and...

*Drying capacities listed (in wet bushels/hour) are for No. 2 shelled yellow corn at the listed moisture contents. Full-heat capacity estimates are for grain discharged hot at 17% moisture, resulting in approximately 15% moisture after steeping and cooling. Capacities listed are estimates based on drying principles, testing results, and computer simulations. These are not to be used as a guarantee of dryer performance. **Transport height is with wet holding bin lowered on upper unit ***Installed height is frame to fill hopper, less legs. +Min. Amps= FLA of all motors. Max. Amps =...

Sukup Dual Fan and Heater Grain Dryers allow you the choice of full-heat drying or heat/cool drying. ■ Upper and lower fans/heaters are controlled individually for greater flexibility. ■ 50/50 split plenum dryers are best suited to full-heat drying or heat/cool where discharged grain must be near ambient temperature. ■ 50/50 dryers are available in 20’ and 24’ sizes. ■ Sukup 2/3 - 1/3 Dryers can operate in full-heat mode, where the grain is dumped hot into a cooling bin or heat/cool mode, where the bottom 1/3 of the dryer is used as a cooling chamber and discharged grain...

AXIAL AND CENTRIFUGAL DRYERS PATENTED GRAIN CROSS-OVER™ SYSTEM Sukup has developed the patented Grain Cross-Over™ System to help eliminate over drying and balance the moisture content of dried grain in a stacked dryer configuration. This exclusive, innovative system switches the grain from one side of the dryer to the other as it passes from module to module. Traditional Dryers EXCLUSIVE Sukup Dryers (with patented Grain Cross-Over™ System) Switching sides balances moisture two ways. A cold fall wind can greatly cool one side of the dryer, resulting in wetter grain and uneven drying. By...
