The Basics
With grain in the bin, air is heated and blown into the plenum, the area under the perforated drying floor, where it flows up through the grain, drying the layer of grain on the floor, and warming the grain above.

The tapred sweep augers bring a grain sample from the floor up to the moisture sensor where it determines the moisture content. If the grain has reached the desired setting, the Command Center turns on the Continuous Flow Auger to take the grain to the storage facility.

If the grain has not reached the desired moisture, the Continuous Flow Augers are left off and the center vertical auger spreads the grain sample back on top in the drying bin. This process assures that no wet grain transfers into storage.


High Efficiency Drying for All Grains
The Shivvers System has a deeper depth drying zone, unlike portable continuous flow dryers that have narrow 12” – 14” drying columns. Shivvers’ deeper zone allows efficient drying at all temperatures. Narrow column dryers exhaust unsaturated (unused) drying air when used at temperatures below 180º F, losing drying capacity.

The Shivvers System maintains efficiency and delivers good capacity at the lower 90º - 160º F, most commonly used with specialty grains such as white corn, grass seeds and high oil corn. This same Performance System has the versatility to rapidly dry yellow field corn at 200º F with high efficiency.


Certified Capacities
Shivvers builds quality products that are engineered to work individually, but the Shivvers Performance System combines the advantages of these individual components for peak performance. By building all the components, testing them together and installing them per Shivvers requirements, we at Shivvers know how the equipment will perform and what it is capable of doing. Shivvers will certify that the System you purchase will perform at the published capacities or we will do what it takes to make it perform, it is that simple.

When you purchase a Shivvers Performance System, you will have a Shivvers Factory Representative visit your Performance System site and pre-check your system to ensure proper installation. Once your system has been approved, you will receive a full operation manual with a Certification of Drying Capacity stating the capacity you will receive with your Shivvers Performance System...in writing.
