With the Farm-Temp Series you will have all the vital information necessary for drying, conditioning, blending, and storing grain in your own bin.....and save you money!!
The advantages of using grain temperature monitoring are:
- Elimination of wasted energy due to the overrunning of aeration fans
- Detects hot-spots for safe long term storage
- Detection of insect activity
- If fumigation is necessary, a temperature monitoring system informs you of the results
- Eliminates unnecessary turning of grain
- History and comparative readings for accurate interpretation of any change or treatment of stored grain
The number of temperature cables needed depends on the diameter of your bin. The thermocouple spacings in the cable vary from 5 to 7 feet depending on the height of your bin. Each thermocouple covers a 20 foot diameter sphere. The cable simply attaches to the bin roof. The attaching cable is routed out of the way of the grain stream, and out the eave. To check the temperature, simply plug in the Farm-Temp portable instrument, which will read any number of bins and cables.
