Product catalog summary
Intelligent Dryer Control Overview
The Intelligent Dryer Control (IDC) by TORNUM is designed to optimize the grain drying process, minimizing overdrying and maximizing grain economy. It offers total process control, reducing drying costs and increasing dryer capacity.

Key Features and Advantages
  • Reduced drying costs and increased dryer capacity.
  • Total control over the drying process with a user-friendly interface accessible via PC or tablet.
  • Ability to change grain type and drying recipe easily.
  • Optimized drying process with intelligent software that adapts to conditions.
  • Easy installation and use, providing an instantly profitable investment.

System Components and Functionality
The IDC system includes moisture sensors and a control unit that monitors and controls the outgoing moisture content in continuous dryers. Sensors are strategically placed to measure incoming and outgoing moisture, allowing the control unit to adjust the dryer discharge speed to achieve the desired moisture content.

Cost and Quality Optimization
By eliminating the guesswork in the drying process, IDC minimizes the risk of overdrying, reducing energy costs and preserving grain quality. The system ensures consistent achievement of desired moisture levels, enhancing product quality, weight, and price.

Available Kits
TORNUM offers four standard IDC kits to accommodate different drying needs, with options for 2 or 4 moisture sensors and additional temperature sensors.

Cost of Overdrying Example
Drying 1000 tonnes of wheat from 20% to 14% moisture content costs €19,500. Overdrying to 13% or 12% significantly increases energy costs and results in weight loss.

Company Background
TORNUM specializes in manufacturing and supplying grain handling systems, offering solutions for drying, storage, and conditioning. With a global presence, TORNUM is known for its design and capacity in the agricultural industry.
