Abstract: A grain handling transfer and storing system including a plurality of bins in two rows in circular arcs about a center pad, each of the bins or receptacles having ground level discharging conveyors and open tops for filling, a pair of screw conveyors radially arranged from the center of the open space between the bins, with distal ends supported on wheeled carriages and proximal ends on a swiveling mounting carried by a tripod and a swiveling housing permitting swinging of the screw conveyors.

Abstract: Rice drying apparatus, a dryer directing heated air through the rice being dried, a control maintaining predetermined differential between the wet bulb and dry bulb temperature of the air used in drying, a modulating apparatus controlling the heat of the burner, the method of establishing a predetermined differential between wet bulb and dry bulb temperature of the air used in drying rice and the like, and subsequently increasing the differential as drying proceeds.

Abstract: A grain dryer having upright grain passages defined by perforate walls confining grain columns therein, the grain passages having offset portions and common inlets and outlets and vertically spaced plenum chambers, and a duct with a fan and burner drawing air from the lower plenum and applying the air in the upper plenum, a pair of upright imperforate plates lying along the exterior of the grain passages and directing a portion of the air emerging from the upper plenum to be recycled by again passing inwardly through the column and into the lower plenum.
