TopDry Autoflow Controls
The Autoflow Control System is exclusive to Maxim Top Dry and available on all bin sizes from 18' to 36' diameter. Autoflow controls allow operation in automatic batch mode or continuous flow mode. In batch mode the Autoflow controls fill, dry and dump each batch automatically. During operation in continuous flow mode, the dryest one-third of the grain in the drying chamber is dumped and replaced with wet grain. The drying chamber is never completely empty and the wetter grain is always exposed to the higher temperature air.

Remote Mounted Capability
Autoflow control boxes can be installed in a separate location from the drying bin. This can help prevent dryer controls from being tampered with or vandalized. Autoflow also offers an optional "Watchdog" software package that allows all dryer operation to be monitored remotely through a personal computer.

Microprocessor Based Controls
Autoflow is totally microprocessor based (no moving parts) and is completely driven by easily upgradeable software.

 

This results in higher drying rates and more consistent moisture removal throughout. Autoflow features automatic shutdown in the event of fill switch failure or empty wet supply, plenum high temperature protection, auger fill delay and automatic or adjustable staged starting of fans and heaters. The Autoflow monitors fan and heater conditions (8 total) indicating which unit to shut down in the event of a malfunction, controls multiple auger systems for installations without a wet hopper tank, and automatically closes chutes in the event of a power loss. Autoflow includes four sensors for grain moisture averaging (more sensors yield better accuracy), motor starters for fill systems, batch counter, reliable rotary fill switches (power paks mounted externally for easier service) and has a 25 memory recall to keep track of unit shutdown including dates and times.

  Series 2000 Manual Controls
The Series 2000 manual control center is available for use with the Series 2000 fan and heater units. This control center offers control of dry time, cool time and grain temperature (moisture). An important feature of this control center is the ability to set plenum temperature from the ground. Econo control centers that just allow starting and stopping the system from the ground are also available.
