	X-STREAM™ Series Dryers The New X-STREAM™ grain dryer balances heat throughout the drying process minimizing grain damage and producing better quality results compared to traditional grain drying.				X-Stream Series Dryers Specifications -------------------- Vision Network Dryer Control Each X-Stream Series dryer comes with the grain sampler as a standard feature. This enables the user to safely obtain a dry grain sample.

	Carrying on GSI’s proud history of innovation in grain drying, the new X-Stream dryer features fans and heaters that are mounted in a staggered fashion on opposite ends of the dryer. Most traditional dryers feature fans and heaters mounted on the same end of the dryer. As a result, the drying temperature of the grain varies based upon which column it is in. The X-Stream dryer mounts the fans/dryers on opposite ends of the dryer and staggered top and bottom. This creates a more uniform temperature through the entire dryer, regardless of column location. As grain passes through the X-Stream, it is subjected to less extreme temperature fluctuations. The result is a higher quality grain that is more evenly dried. The X-STREAM dryer is available in stack dryers with lengths of 20 through 26 feet, plus longer two fan single module dryers. GSI strongly recommends adding optional grain inverters to the X-Stream dryer for even greater performance improvement.

X-STREAM™ GRAIN DRYERS FEATURES...

Exclusive mixing chambers blend heated drying air for the most even drying.
Eliminates the natural tendency to over-dry the grain furthest from the fan and heater by reversing the direction of the heated air in the plenum.
Eliminates front-to-back moisture variation and heat loss, resulting in higher efficiency drying.
Field-tested and proven in GSI Pistachio Food Grade Dryers. In this stringent market, with an extraordinarily expensive product, even drying is the difference between profitable pistachios that can be sold for human consumption versus those that are simply thrown out or downgraded to animal feed.
GSI patented Grain Inverters (highly recommended but optional equipment) and the new X-Stream dryer design combine to dry grain evenly from front to back and across the entire column without the loss of usable heat.

Grain Sampler with Moisture Control

			Fans and Heaters The high efficiency, one-piece fan and heater utilizes only low speed, low noise fans, while providing optimum heated air flow for every drying application. All units use fiberglass reinforced polypropylene fan blades that feature an extremely low starting load, high air flow across a wide static pressure range, precise balance and quiet operation. The Optimizer Blue Burn System is standard on all LP models. Versatile on/off or high/low cycling assures energy efficient burner operation for all fuel mixes. An Electronic Ignition System is used to monitor the burner and a view window is provided to observe burner operation. Additional features include large service access doors and oil filled gas gauges.		Easy Cleanout Commercial SCR, gear driven, single chain metering roll drive. Consistent Grain Drying The X-Stream dryers feature air mix chambers which thoroughly mix immediate burner heat with ambient air creating an even drying temperature in the plenum chamber throughout the front, back and sides. An optional fill auger distribution pan is also available if adverse harvest conditions result in trash filled wet grain. The pan helps distribute fines in the top of the dryer allowing unobstructed airflow and uniform grain movement throughout the dryer.

			Basket Features Several unique basket features are available for convenience and drying efficiency. Perforated wet bins are used to enhance preheating and allow visual inspection of the grain flow. The low 14' 6" height with wet bin allows the dryer to fit in places others can't, as well as improve the capacity of drying. The wet bin comes standard on 16' to 26' dryers and is an available option on 8' to 14' dryers. Wide 14" grain columns hold the maximum amount of grain while assuring even, efficient drying from the inside to the outside of the column. The plenum also has an air mixing chamber to mix the air and heat, and to shield the grain columns from direct contact with the burner flame.

			Large Plenum Clean Out Door Sealer For easy access to the unload auger and metering rolls a large plenum clean out door with sealing strips was added to prevent air pressure and heat loss into the unload chamber.

			Outer Screen Options Double galvanized 3-piece steel dryer screens (G165, 2 ounce nominally applied galvanizing) are used for increased protection from the elements. Also available are small grains, 0.050" perforated galvanized screens and optional stainless steel bolts, nuts and outer screens for the utmost in corrosion resistance.
