are sent out to our customers. Therefore we can ensure that you have the dryer to

Material
Cimbria dryers consist of 2-mm galvanised steel or aluminium
plates, which ensures a good strong quality. Both types of plate
make it possible to install the dryer inside as well as outside.
With the latter mentioned you cut down the building costs and
the total investment will be considerably reduced.
A good and solid material ensures you

maintenance.
Simulation Programme
Cimbria use a PC drying simulation programme with which the
dimension and design of the dryer can be calculated to meet your
specific requirements.

Control Panel
The drying process is controlled and monitored through
a simple, clear and user-friendly control panel with a mimic

The dryer can furthermore be

system called "Auto Pilot".

The dryer is built in three modules: A, B and C.With this
system it is possible to meet your drying requirements.
Future Each model: A, B and C is built of modules.
If your drying requirements increase you
Secured can expand it with more modules.
"Jumping Kernels"
When the dryer column is filled a few kernels may jump
out of the dryer column. Both the heating and exhaust
chamber are inclined so the "jumping kernels" are fed
back into the dryer column.
There is no waste of kernels, because
everything other than the dust and Column
water is automatically fed back into
the dryer column again.
Without Loss
Volumetric Discharge Section
Cimbria volumetric discharge section is designed
with a series of sector dampers. This discharge
system gives a homogenous flow and helps
reduce clogging by straw and foreign material.

Column
Air Ducts
Cimbria’s V-formed, sharpened air ducts give
more space for the grain and an optimal air-
flow through the dryer.
Homogeneous Airspeed
The air is distributed over the entire column
so each sucking channel is surrounded by
four exhaustion channels and vice versa. The
mixed-flow principle ensures a gentle, effective
and homogeneous drying.
Air Foils
In the opening of the exhaust channels air foils can
be placed to minimise turbulance and avoid small
grains and light products from being sucked out by
the exhaust fans.
It is possible to use

Recovery Of Heat
The heat from the lower part of the column, where the humidity
is lower, can be recirculated and contribute to the heating of the
drying air.

The Cimbria dryer design incorporates the principal of
air sucking through the grain putting the dryer body
under negative pressure eliminating emission of grain

on noise emission can be met efficiently.
