Abstract

A grain dryer has a pair of heating columns with an upper plenum in communication with the pair of heating columns. Each heating column has an inner boundary and an outer boundary being formed with a plurality of angled containment baffles configured to funnel grain down the heating column while allowing heated air to be drawn from the upper plenum through the grain. The grain dryer has a plurality of grain diverters mounted longitudinally at regular height intervals between the containment baffles forming the inner boundary and the containment baffles forming the outer boundary. Each grain diverter is shaped to form a downward facing nook that forms a void in the grain as the grain flows down the heating column.
