Grain store supply & controls

A working grain store has one immovable deadline: the harvest. The existing supply could not carry the drying fans and conveyors together, and the control gear had been extended piecemeal over more than a decade.

We started with a measured load study across a full drying cycle rather than a paper calculation, then sized a new three-phase supply and distribution arrangement around what the plant actually draws. The controls were rebuilt with a clear sequence, manual overrides and status indication at the door, so the team running it overnight can see what is happening without opening a panel.

The changeover was planned for the quiet weeks before harvest, with the old arrangement left serviceable until the new system was proven under load.
