The Aeration Manager™

Each Aeration Manager™ is as standard equipped with the control inputs and outputs for eight silos. Each silo can store a different type of grain and as such the control outputs are fully individual. To ensure that fans are indeed operating when requested, each fan (or set of fans) is provided with a feedback signal input.

The control of the grain is based on information entered during loading; tonnage, temperature, moisture, oil content (if applicable) and weather data gathered throughout the storage period. With this information the controller is capable of moving towards the target temperature and/or grain moisture as set by the end user.

Each Aeration Manager™ is in fact three controllers in one, allowing for drying, cooling and maintenance of the grain (in that order) with fully automatic transition between the three stages.

Options

Apart from the standard aeration control functions, there are a number of optional extras that can be selected when purchasing an Aeration Manager™.
These are:
• Generator start option. This allows for the starting of a generator prior to energising the fans   and shutting down the generator when aeration is no longer required.
• Operational Window. Ideally, no restrictions are put on the operation of the fans but sometimes noise issues may force you to restrict the operation of the fans to certain hours of operations.
• Assisted Heating. To achieve drying conditions that make a difference to your grain it may sometimes be necessary to install heaters to the inlet of the fans. For these instances we can provide eight heating outputs and eight heater-feedback inputs.
• Vent Control. Use our 500mm long electrically operated actuators for controlling the lids of your Silos during loading, unloading and venting operations.


Supplementary Products

Aeration control equipment requires the supply of single-phase or three-phase power to the fans. This also needs power distribution (main switch and circuit breakers) and control (contactors). Aeration Control Australia can provide you with advice and equipment to complete your aeration control system. Items include:
•  Power distribution panels
•  Fan control panels
•  Integrated distribution and control panels
•  Automated opening and closing systems for the centre opening lids
