The Sinar DryPro, based on proven capacitance technology, continually reads the moisture of the grain as it passes the sensors positioned throughout the dryer. This gives you real-time moisture and temperature readings as the grain is still in the drier, allowing much tighter control of your drying operation. By taking hundreds of readings per hour the Sinar DryPro gives you the data to make the correct drier management decisions. Alternatively, using the optional analogue outputs, let the Sinar DryPro make the adjustments for you.
Easily installed into existing dryers, the Sinar DryPro can be configured to trigger high and/or low moisture alarms, continually log moisture and temperature results and provide a variety of outputs which can be used to monitor or directly control the drier. The Sinar DryPro also uses the same standard calibrations developed for use in the Sinar Technology’s range of hand held moisture analyzers. This gives the system great flexibility as it can be calibrated for any of the hundreds of commodities listed in our calibration library, as well as allowing easy checking and adjustment.

Typically these include: Wheat, Barley, Oilseed Rape, Maize, Soya Bean, Rice, Coffee, Pulses, Linseed, Oats. With many more available

Technical Description:
The Sinar DryPro is a unique, multi-sensor, moisture & temperature-monitoring system, designed specifically to cope with the harsh environment found inside modern grain drying facilities. Up to four sensors can be connected to the central control unit enabling precise measurements to be taken at different points within the dryer. These sensors are easily mounted, with no re-engineering of the dryer required.

One 4-core cable is run from each sensor back to the control unit, which is powered from a 100-240v AC supply. Each sensor can be situated up to 100m away from the control unit. From the control unit the operator can: Continually display the moisture reading from any sensor, display the temperature reading from any sensor OR sequentially cycle through, and display, the moisture readings from all available sensors, using a variable time interval.

Using either an RS232 or RS485 port, the control box outputs: Moisture reading displayed on the readout, Sensor number which is generating the reading, Current date - in dd/mm/yy format, Current time – in hr/min/sec format, Temperature of each sensor, Name of the crop calibration currently selected, Current alarm state for selected crop (high or low).

A data logger, a PC running Sinar Technology MLog software or a serial printer/chart recorder, can be used to pick up all this data. In this way a permanent drying record can be easily kept. The control box also incorporates upto eight analogue outputs, one moisture output & one temperature output for each sensor installed. Connections are made via internal, klip on, terminals. This allows the Sinar Drypro to interface with: A PLC for control purposes, which enables the dryer to be controlled directly from the readings of the DryPro sensors and achart recorder.

System Components:
To allow the flexibility needed to meet the requirements of many different dryer designs the Sinar Technology DryPro is supplied in modular form, allowing the perfect configuration for any dryer.
