Stop Annoying Your Neighbors!

Working near a portable grain dryer all day can leave you with a buzzing in the ears. And if the dryer is near your house (or your neighbors’), it can be difficult getting to sleep at harvest time. GSI’s solution to the noise pollution is a new Quiet Dryer, which produces 50% fewer decibels than comparable vane axial portable dryers.

The new dryer’s sound also has a lower pitch. Vane axial fans, which most portable dryers use, create a high-pitched noise “that travels for miles and miles,” says Jarod Wendt, GSI grain conditioning engineering manager.
