These types of towers are designed for agricultural purposes to dry grain. They usually consist of three parts.
The first part is the hot air hood, which contains an air heater. The hot air is then extracted into the second chamber.
The second chamber is the drying column, into which the moist crop is fed at the top of the tower and flows down through the drying column by gravity. At the bottom of the drying column is the discharge system with a discharge container. The hot air sucked through the drying column heats the crop and dries it. This air is then referred to as exhaust air and collected in the third chamber, the exhaust hood.
The separate building on the left houses the exhaust fan and dust separator. This ensures air flow through the entire dryer and separates the dust from the exhaust air. The air leaves the dryer tower and is usually vented into the environment.
The customer took into account the cladding panels for bracing and thus the dissipation of horizontal forces due to wind and seismic loads.
