3. Equipment OverviewGeneral Design CriteriaNOTE :Dryer design is based on load factors - if you wish to add more sections to your dryer in the future, please let NECO know when you place your order so it will be designed to fi t to your expanding needs.

TIER INFORMATION :• A tier is a set of parts that make up ONE

layer of the dryer (also called body section).• The top four tiers on all dryers are made up

of 18 gauge material.• The tiers below the 18 gauge tiers will be

made of heavier materials - based on the required strength of that dryer confi guration.

BODY SECTION INFORMATION :• A dryer section may be made up of 3 - 7

tiers, a blower, and a burner assembled together.

• The lowest body section is attached to the dryer frame and includes the entrance door.

STANDARD LENGTHS :• 16’ (192”), 24’ (288”), 32’ (384”)

TOTAL TIER LEVELS PER LENGTH :• 16’ -- min 4 tiers / max 16 tiers• 24’ -- min 6 tiers / max 24 tiers• 32’ -- mins 12 tiers / max 24 tiers

DRYER MODEL # : Example: D 16 60• The two digits after “D” are the dryer length.

This example would be a 16 foot long dryer.• The remaining digits “times 10” would be the

approximate bushel capacity for corn. This example would be (10 x 60) or 600 bushels.

• A model #D32500 would be a dryer that is 32 feet long and have approximately 5,000 bushel capacity.

NOTE: See APPENDIX - Standard Model Specifi cations for detailed bushel capacity values.

LEVEL AUGER

ATTENTIONLevel auger system grain intake should be at the end opposite the auger motor and a MINIMUM of 2’ from that end of the auger.

The level auger motor rotation will need to be properly confi gured by the installation electrician for proper fi lling - dependant upon the grain intake position.


ATTENTION

The weight of grain in a full NECO dryer will range from 16 tons to over 200 tons.

• It is necessary to support the frame of the dryer with properly designed and sized footings.

• NECO recommends having a concrete pad under the dryer to allow for easy clean-up.

• The dryer must be anchored and also secured against wind loading. Consult a civil engineer who’s experienced with soil AND wind conditions in your area.

• Work with your millwright or installer & consult NECO if needed.

NECO recommends always hiring an expert for proper advise, accurate paperwork, and safe procedures to complete this task in conformance with local codes.

Contact your gas supplier regarding the location of fuel tanks and the safe storage, transport and handling of fuel. The LP storage tank must be located at least 25 ft [8 meters] from any structures. Local codes may require more distance.

When propane is the fuel source the tank should be equipped with both a vapor tap and a liquid tap. The liquid tap should have a rapid

of propane if a fuel line breaks.

Help prevent oil sediment from entering the fuel system by propping one end of the propane tank higher than the other end, as shown in Figure 4B.

If using a converted AnhydrousAmmonia Tank --

Fuel train components can be damaged by anhydrous ammonia. If a tank that has contained anhydrous ammonia is going to be used for LP gas fuel make sure that the tank is completely purged of the anhydrous ammonia. Ask your LP gas supplier how to purge your tank.

NOTE: Fuel train components damaged by anhydrous ammonia are not covered under warranty.

Sizing the LP Supply Line

NOTE: Size the line for maximum capacity of your dryer system, while taking into consideration any future plans to upgrade.

• The supply regulator set should be located near the dryer to reduce the supply line length.• Refer to the STANDARD DRYER SPECIFICATION table in the APPENDIX section to obtain

the MAX burner output value, then, choose a slightly greater fl ow rate for the current or fu-ture fl ow requirements. Based upon the fl ow requirements, which includes the 1 psi pressure drop, see which choice of line material & length best suit the system requirements :

Natural Gas (NG) Fuel Source• Refer to APPENDIX - NECO Grain Dryer Specifi cations for maximum heat capacity ouptut

and ensure that the pressure supplied to the fuel train inlet is 15 to 20 psi.• The natural gas inlet line fi tting for all NECO Dryers is 2”.• The supply regulator set should be located near the dryer to reduce the supply line length.• Contact your local natural gas supplier for line sizing.

** Electric Service amps shown DO NOT include any wet or dry transport motor amperage loads. Auxillary equipment requirements must be added to have accurate total requirement value.

NOTE

• The Dryer Rating Label on the control panel lists the full-load amps required for the dryer and the input voltage.

• Refer to the table at right for service amp information on various size dryers - be sure to add amperage requirements for any additional auxillary equipment.

• The customer is responsible for providing materials and labor to connect the control to the power source, including a properly sized and placed fused disconnect box.

• The elelctrical power supply will have to meet service amp requirements.

• Copper wire of the appropriate size, based on the required amps and distance, must be run between the main disconnect switch and the distribution block located in the dryer control panel.

NECO recommends hiring an expert for proper advise, accurate paperwork, and safe procedures to complete electrical work in conformance with local codes.

WARNING


NOTE: All dryers require some assembly - the following information is included to help organize that overall task:

• The level of assembly required depends on many factors concerning the dryer model and optional equipment.

• Gather, identify, and separate all parts and hardware (See hardware chart below).

• Study this manual and look closely at the equipment overview section to become familiar with the various parts.

• Ultimately, for smooth assembly the parts should be organized into groups.

• Make use of the detailed packing list - EACH dryer shipped in an order has a packing list (example shown below).

5. Assembly - TiersIdentify Groups of Parts


Assembly Hardware Key

Tier Parts Overview

• A tier section consists of two end panels, outer side panels, inner side panels, ducts, splice plates, and stiff eners, if necessary.

• Two tier sections, usually connected with an end plenum panel or transition, are also refered to as a tier level.

• Dryer sections can be made up of 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 tier levels.

• Material thickness - per dryer height, tier panels thicken for greater strength and stability toward foundation.

• 18 ga. end panels will go with 18 ga. body panels / 14 ga. end panels will be used on any body section other then 18 ga. / 14 ga. body sections will be made of 14 ga parts and may or may not have stiff eners / 12 ga side panels always have stiff eners

• Dryers of diff erent lengths will use the same parts, but will have middle side panel(s) to ex-tend the length. 16’ dryers use 2 body panels per side

24’ dryers use 3 body panels per side 32’ dryers use 4 body panels per side

6. Assembly - Dryer Sections

Position Tiers to Build and Stack

NOTESee APPENDIX - Dryer Layout Confi gurations for detailed information per model number. • It is best to set up wood spacers to stack the dryer bodies - placing the spacers at each end

and also directly under splice plates.• Cut planks of wood; use a base plank of 90.5” [2299 mm] long, with 2 riser planks of 33.75” [857

mm] long. Screw or nail the riser planks to the top of base plank to form the wood spacer.• Use three spacers for a 16’ dryer, four spacers for a 24’ dryer, and fi ve spacers for a 32’ dryer.

Riser Planks

Base Plank

Wood Fixture for Stacking Tiers

• Place the fi rst set of tiers on top of the wood spacers so the vent holes that are closer to the bottom lip face the outside of the dryer.

• For best results place the spacers at the ends of the dryer bodies and under the splice plates of the dryer bodies.

• Ensure the two body sections are 86 3/4” [2,203 mm] apart and that the layout is square. Measure across diagonal corners to verify squareness of the layout prior to installation of end panels, etc.

OVERVIEW

See “Dryer Layout Confi gurations” for ladder layouts per model number.

• LADDER LOCATION - Dryer models with only one blower have the ladder system mounted at the rear of the dryer, to the left of the plenum door. Dryer models with multiple blowers have the ladder system mounted at the front of the dryer, extending upward through the platform fl oors and opposite the fuel side of transition / blower.

• Overall ladder length is made up of 10’, 8’, 6’, or 4’ sections - total length is equal to the number of tiers times 2’ plus 2’ (Example: A 12 tier ladder system would be 26’ long)

• The 10’ (#040370) 8’ (#040369), and 6’ (#7618354) ladder sections include two ladder brackets with each section. The 4’ (#044117) section includes one ladder bracket and is used only as the top-most section in the ladder system - when required.

• The top-most section of ladder attaches directly to the ladder connection plates of the safety cage system using 3/8” hardware and two #088028 ladder clips.

NOTE: Depending on the dryer confi guration, at times the ladder section length used extends higher than the current dryer section - it is best to install the ladder mounting brackets, but do not install the ladder until after those sections are stacked.

• Lay out the ladder sections with brackets and check spacing / location of the brackets compared to the confi guration layout shown in the Dryer Tier / Ladder / Shipping Layouts section.

• Position the brackets on the ladder so that they will rest on top of the appropriate tier “lip”.

• It is suggested to either add each ladder section as the sections go up or to wait until all dryer sections have been assembled - be sure to check fi lling system for catwalk / safety cage to match up properly.


Remove the existing 1/4” hardware from the three tier lip holes indicated below. Place the bracket on the tier lip, and secure with three sets of 1/4” bolts, fl atwashers, and nylock nuts. Tighten 3/8” hardware to secure the connection between the ladder and ladder bracket.

Mounting of ladder brackets.


Refer to ASSEMBLY - TIERS & Part Details showing part numbers for special Roof style top panels for outer sides, inner sides, and ends.

• Place body sides apart with the ducts that are 16 1/8” from the bottom lip facing each other.• The outside of the bodies are placed 86 3/4” [2191 mm] apart.• Place the #044390 end plenum panel between the tier sections and be sure to line up the bolt

holes on the panel lips.• Drill 0.281” holes in the body sections for the end plenum panel and attach using 3/16” pop

rivets.

NOTE: For now, only install ONE of the #044390 end plenum panels. Later on during the assem-

• Most dryer system utilize a NECO support leg option. Some dryer systems utilize both concrete piers and either the NECO legs or customer supplied legs.

• No matter the method, double-check and verify proper assembly - make sure system is secure.

DETERMINE NEXT STEP --• •

continue with Stack and Secure Sections.

Anchor Lower Section To Pad / Foundation

• Be sure to support the lower section using a crane or setting it on temporary blocks, etc..

Check & Verify ALL anchor attachment systems before installing optional leg kit or the addition of any upper dryer sections.

9. InstallationPosition Lower Dryer Section at Location


NOTE: Skip this section if the dryer system does not utilize the optional NECO lifting legs.

OVERVIEWThe optional lifting leg system is based on requirements that vary with the size and capacity of the dryer. Leg kits are available in 24”, 48”, or 60”lengths. Most dryer systems with legs are set atop a concrete slab. Some do not have a slab, but have individual foundation piers for support and anchoring. The dryer should also be secured in a secondary manner (guy wires, for example). This is especially true for taller dryers, which have greater surface area exposed to the wind.

WARNING

Be sure to support the dryer’s lower section assembly by hanging from a crane or sitting on blocks prior to installing ANY lifting legs.

WARNING

ATTENTION -- The following stacking information is applicable for:• Upper dryer sections - made up of 3 - 6 tier levels•

NOTE:assembled on the ground and then lifted into position and secured.

OVERVIEW

• •

certain parts require installation as the sections are stacked.• STACKING ORDER - If your dryer has multiple sections, make sure you stack the sections in

the proper order. The dryer section with the cord set labeled “1” is the longest cord and would be the upper-most section located the furthest away from the control panel. Position the rest likewise - #2 cord set would be the next dryer section toward the bottom and so on.

• LP FUELED DRYERS: Be carefull of the LP vaporizer coils when stacking sections - they stick up slightly and can be damaged !!!

• PLATFORM SUPPORT COLUMNS: These are shipped wired to the platforms and should be mounted at the bottom to the Platform Support Angles prior to adding the next dryer section.

• LADDER SECTIONS: If ladder section lengths are level with the top tier of a dryer section, they are factory mounted. If they are not level with the shipped top tier, the ladder section for

details.

Attach Ladder Sections

OVERVIEW

• See APPENDIX - Dryer Layout Confi gurations for information on ladder bracket attachment with the necessary ladder section lengths.

• Ladder location depends on model type - single blower units have the ladder system mounted at the rear of dryer, to the LEFT of the plenum door. Dryers with multiple platforms have the ladder system mounted at the front of dryer, going up through the platform fl oors, on the opposite side of transition fuel train.

• The 10’ (#040370), 8’ (#040369), and 6’ (#7618354) ladder sections include two ladder brackets with each section supplied. The 4’ (#044117) section includes one ladder bracket and is used only as the top-most section in the ladder system when required. It will always have to be installed.

• The top-most section of ladder (10’, 8’, 6’ or 4’) attaches to the #088083 ladder connection plates of the safety cage system using #088028 ladder clips and 3/8” hardware.

• It is suggested to either add each ladder section as the dryer sections are installed upward or to wait until all dryer sections and topside fi lling section have been installed.

NOTE: For dryers with a roof and catwalk system, the 6” dimension from the edge of tier to the #080022 ladder bracket edge should be held closely or the #080083 ladder attachment brackets will not match up correctly.

• When ever possible, the ladder brackets should be positioned against the “lip” of a tier section to provide alignment and additional stability.

NOTE: Ladder attachment brackets are positioned above or below any ladder section splice and can NOT be located at the same level or position as the ladder splices.


NOTE: For dryers with a roof and catwalk system, the 6” dimension from the edge of tier to the #080022 ladder bracket edge should be held closely or the #080083 ladder attachment brackets will not match up correctly.
