G-CT-500
A 500-metric-ton-per-day industrial-scale continuous drying tower — the highest-capacity model in the G-CT series. Built for major grain hubs and national reserves where throughput is mission-critical. Indirect heating with a heat exchanger preserves grain purity, automated feed and discharge enable 24/7 unattended operation, and a 211 kW power draw handles the heaviest loads efficiently.

Engineered to Save Labor, Built for Automation
Every component is designed for continuous unattended operation — from the indirect heat furnace to the 24/7 control system.
Indirect Heat Furnace System
Indirect heating keeps flue gas completely separate from grain — zero contamination, meeting food-grade and export standards. Supports solid fuels for lowest operating cost.
Coal
Biomass
Wood- Indirect heat exchanger — zero flue gas contamination
- Auto fuel feed with hopper level sensing
- Combustion chamber temperature auto-control
- Ash removal system for continuous operation
24/7 PLC Control System
Full continuous-flow automation — grain feed, temperature, moisture, and discharge all controlled by PLC. Designed for 24/7 unattended operation during harvest season.
- Continuous flow rate auto-adjustment
- Multi-zone temperature control along tower height
- Remote monitoring via mobile app
- Auto shutdown & alarm for any parameter deviation
Multi-Zone Temperature Sensors
Multiple sensors along the tower height monitor both hot air and grain temperature at every drying zone. The PLC adjusts each zone independently for uniform moisture output.
- Multi-zone hot air sensors: ±1°C precision per zone
- Grain temperature sensors at discharge point
- Zone-by-zone burner output adjustment
- Real-time moisture curve display on HMI
What Makes G-CT-500 Different
Engineering details that deliver value at industrial scale.
Industrial-Scale Capacity
500 metric tons per day — the highest capacity in the G-CT series. Built for major grain hubs and national reserves where throughput is mission-critical.
Indirect Heating
Heat exchanger keeps combustion gases away from the grain — preserving purity and food-grade quality for premium markets.
24/7 Operation
Automated feed and discharge enable round-the-clock unattended operation — no batch pauses, no overnight labor.
Automated Control
Grain flows continuously through the tower — automatic loading and unloading with no manual handling required.
