Based on our extensive knowledge of drying, and our vast experience, together withconstant development and optimisation, Cimbria are now leaders within the area ofprocess-drying of grains and our drying plants are the most effective in the World.

At Cimbria it has never been enough to test the ideas in artificial surroundings.There-fore we have a full size test plant where all our ideas are carefully tested before theyare sent out to our customers.Therefore we can ensure that you have the dryer tobest meet your requirements.

Cimbria have been around since the need for artificial drying first arose. One of thefounders at Cimbria, H.Toftdahl Olesen, started comprehensive research to establish thefundamental parameters for efficient technology and to develop the perfect utilisationof the supplied drying energy.

Good product knowledge and process expe-rience mean that today we are ISO 9001certified.

A full-size test plant for further developmentand tests.

Research results are collected in a book "GrainDrying", which has found wide recognition.

Full Control Over The Drying Process Development, research and experience within the drying fields,has resulted in Cimbria having obtained full control over the airvolumes, temperatures and rates of passage.Thereby we obtainthe optimal capacity and economical drying in terms of energyand taking account of the surrounding environment.

Homogeneous Economic DryingThe direction of the air through the grain decides how effectiveand homogenous the grain is dried. In a Cimbria dryer the grainmoves through a changing airflow called mixed-flow drying.With this system the water has time to move from the insideof the kernels to the outside. Thereby it is possible to obtainhomogenous and economic drying.

Guaranty For The CapacityWe carefully calculate each dryer on our simulation programmewhich ensures that the dryer meets your requirements. Further-more, we offer professional counselling ensuring that you get thebest possible service.

FlexibilityFrom our standard components the dryer can be tailored to meetyour specific demands.This reduces the delivery time as well as the installation time. Ifyour drying demand increases in the future it is possible, due tothe modular design of the dryer, to easily increase the size of theunit.

Concerns About The EnvironmentConcerns about the environment are very important to Cimbria.Both in connection with the production but also the surroundingenvironment where the plant is going to work.Therefore we offerdust separation, silencer, indirect furnaces etc. At all times we areworking to be at the front in the field of environmental demandswherever in the World the plant is to be installed.

Good Service To each of our dealers there is connected a service organisationwhich ensures that you always have access to professional assi-stance.

Total Economy These advantages ensure you a totally economic unit, giving afaster return on your investment through a higher floor-spaceratio, less waste and a better quality in the end-product. All thismeans a higher earning and improved total economy despite anapparently higher initial investment.

MaterialCimbria dryers consist of 2-mm galvanised steel or aluminiumplates, which ensures a good strong quality. Both types of platemake it possible to install the dryer inside as well as outside.With the latter mentioned you cut down the building costs andthe total investment will be considerably reduced.

A good and solid material ensures youthat the dryer has a long life and minimalmaintenance.

Long Life

Simulation ProgrammeCimbria use a PC drying simulation programme with which thedimension and design of the dryer can be calculated to meet yourspecific requirements.

We keep our promises and guaranteeyou the calculated capacity.

Tailored ToMeet YourDemands

Control PanelThe drying process is controlled and monitored througha simple, clear and user-friendly control panel with a mimicdiagram and built-in safety functions.

The dryer can furthermore be equipped with an over-heat-alarmsystem and a moisture controlsystem called "Auto Pilot".

User-FriendlyOperation

Modular DesignThe dryer is built in three modules:A, B and C.With thissystem it is possible to meet your drying requirements.

Each model:A, B and C is built of modules.If your drying requirements increase youcan expand it with more modules.

Future Secured

"Jumping Kernels"When the dryer column is filled a few kernels may jumpout of the dryer column. Both the heating and exhaustchamber are inclined so the "jumping kernels" are fedback into the dryer column.

There is no waste of kernels, becauseeverything other than the dust andwater is automatically fed back intothe dryer column again.

ColumnWithout Loss

It gives you full con-trol over the dryingprocess.

Cimbria volumetric discharge section is designedwith a series of sector dampers.This dischargesystem gives a homogenous flow and helpsreduce clogging by straw and foreign material.

nAir DuctsCimbria’s V-formed, sharpened air ducts givemore space for the grain and an optimal air-flow through the dryer.

The air is distributed over the entire columnso each sucking channel is surrounded byfour exhaustion channels and vice versa.Themixed-flow principle ensures a gentle, effectiveand homogeneous drying.

Homogeneous Airspeed

Air FoilsIn the opening of the exhaust channels air foils canbe placed to minimise turbulance and avoid smallgrains and light products from being sucked out bythe exhaust fans.

It is possible to uselarger air volumes, whichresults in a considerableincrease in the dryingcapacity.

Large Air VolumeFor Small GrainsAnd Light Products

Variable Cooling ZoneThe variable cooling zone makes it possible to configure the dryerto the exact drying- and working conditions in the drying moment.

By utilising air and energy inthe best way possible the costsare reduced and the capacityis optimised.

Optimal CapacityAnd Minimal DryingCosts

Direct HeatingWith the direct heating system the energy is optimallyutilised. The flue gas is conducted through the dryerand there is no loss in the chimney.

Direct heating is energy savingand most often used in thedrying of fodder.

No Thermal Loss

Direct Heating With GasCimbria’s line gas burner gives a homogeneoustemperature by means of a burner full over thewidth of the dryer.

The direct heating withgas ensures a clean andenergy saving drying ofa high capacity.

Optimal ControlOf The Drying Air

Direct Heating With OilCimbria’s hot air furnace is delivered complete withan air mixing system which gives a homogenousdrying air temperature.The fire chamber is in stainlesssteel and the furnaces are delivered with a very reliableburner for oil.

Cimbria’s combined mixingsystem ensures a completelyhomogeneous drying.

Indirect HeatingThe flue gas is heat exchanged and the heat source is never indirect contact with the product to be dried.The fire chamberis in stainless steel and the furnaces can be used for gas or oil.

This is a recommendable heat sourcewhen the final product is for humanconsumption.

Future SecuredEnvironmentalInvestment

Indirect Heating With Water Or Steam

The radiators are mounted directly on to theheat air chamber. A steady distribution of theheat is thereby obtained.

The advantage with this systemis that it can be used for utilisingexcess heat and it is also re-commended for drying of con-sumer crops.

Lenient Heating

Recovery Of HeatThe heat from the lower part of the column, where the humidityis lower, can be recirculated and contribute to the heating of thedrying air.

The heat contents in the recirculated air cancontribute with up to 20% energy saving.

EnergySaving

EnvironmentThe Cimbria dryer design incorporates the principal ofair sucking through the grain putting the dryer bodyunder negative pressure eliminating emission of graindust and thermal loss from the column. By means ofCimbria’s noise attenuation system the local demandson noise emission can be met efficiently.

Cimbria dryers give you a pleasantimmediate environment operationand economy without dust emis-sion or heat loss.

No DustNo Thermal Loss

Air Control "Varifan"Cimbria’s varifan is installed on all our ventilators and givesthe possibility for stepless adjustment of the air volume andproportionally a reduction in the energy consumption.

The varifan gives you an optimalutilisation of the ventilators andensures you an economic profitwhile the energy consumptionfits to the capacity at all times.

Reduced EnergyConsumption

Super CyclofanCimbria’s Super Cyclofan is developed especially witha view to minimise the dust leak even more. It has anunusually high dust separating efficiency of more than99% with the best energy utilisation.

Cimbria have patented the mosteffective mechanical dust separationventilator.The effective dust separa-tion gives you a secure environmentaladvantage.
