FRIGORTEC GmbH
PROFILE
The GRANIFRIGORTM grain cooling system was developed together with the University
Düsseldorf/ Germany and since then the grain cooling units have been built in series.
From 2003 onwards the GRANIFRIGORTM exists in its 3rd generation and has already
been supplied in more than 70 countries.
Grain cooling with the GRANIFRIGORTM - system is the most natural, safe and efficient
way of grain preservation.
Several thousands of GRANIFRIGORTM units, successfully in operation, are cooling
wheat, barley, maize, rape seed, rye, mixed feed, oats, rice, soy bean, peas, potatoes,
grass seeds, paddy, millet, cacao beans, coffee beans, etc.
The product series include 8 various unit sizes. The biggest unit is designed for storage
capacities of more than 10,000 tons. For tropic regions, we offer a special tropic-unit type.
On request, all units are also available for different voltages 50/ 60 Hz, 220/ 400/ 440V. Ad-
ditional equipment can be ordered like a modular system. If needed, the GRANIFRIGORTM
grain coolers can be equipped with a programmable control (direct digital control DDC), or
with a conventional safety circuit.
Our employees - skilled specialists in the field of refrigeration engineering, electrics and
machine engineering - in our own production in Amtzell / GERMANY are manufacturing
cooling units and heat pumps.
Quality is FrigorTec’s main subject. Each device passes through a quality inspection with
multi-stage test runs according to our quality-management system. In this way, each prod-
uct is tested under its individual conditions relevant to the installation, to ensure that it fulfils
in reality its purpose: namely to provide reliable cooling.
FrigorTec GmbH is certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2000.

The information is intended to assist end users in selecting the grain drying system that they believe best meets
their unique preferences and needs. The performance figures and capacities presented herein are only estimates,
based on calculated simulations, and do not constitute express or implied warranties. Many factors influence
the grain drying process, including ambient temperature, relative humidity, grain variety, grain quality, grain
temperature, dryer operating temperatures, dryer add-ons and accessories, and dryer condition, maintenance and
operation. At Mathews Company, we continually to strive to improve our products. Accordingly, changes may occur
that are not reflected in the specifications and capacities shown above.

PROFILE
Mathews Company
T
he Mathews Company (M-C) has designed, manufactured and marketed grain dryers through-
out the world for nearly 60 years. Mathews Company offers both tower and modular dryers for
all crops with capacities up to 100 tonnes per hour. The grain dryers are EU certified and are
offered with various fuel options such as oil, natural gas, or propane. M-C offers both modular expand-
able dryers and vacuum cooled energy efficient tower dryers and are operated by M-C’s state-of-the-
art Pinnacle Lite™ dryer control system.
LEGACY SERIES
As a central part of your grain handling and management system, an M-C Legacy Series Dryer with
multiple heat zones delivers increased flexibility, fuel efficiency and higher quality grain. These modular
dryers are expandable and designed with multiple drying zones that deliver increased flexibility, fuel
efficiency and higher grain quality. A heavy, welded steel base provides strength and support for future
expansion.
All modular dryers are equipped with quiet, high air flow centrifugal fans. Adjustable Venturi gas burn-
ers provide maximum combustion at all operating temperatures. A gas manifold with microprocessor
controlled electronic gas proportional valve allows complete control of plenum temperature for all grain
types. Regardless of outside temperature changes, a constant plenum temperature is automatically
maintained. Digital readout displays plenum temperature and set point during dryer operation.
TOWER SERIES
Energy saving M-C Tower Series Dryers are engineered to deliver the benefits that are most important
to commercial dryer operators. With fewer moving parts and vacuum cooling, M-C tower dryers raise
the bar to set a new standard in simplicity, environmental acceptability, reliability and efficiency.
The Tower Series dryers are manufactured with a solid, welded stainless steel base, and stainless
steel sheeting. Premium Maxon burners offer efficient heat at low pressures throughout the plenum
chamber, offering maximum efficiency. In -line centrifugal fan blowers deliver air volume at low RPM
for maximum motor life for efficient, quiet drying.
170 | International Milling Directory 2011/12
15. Vacuum cooling is key to the popularity and success of the M-C tower dryers. Reclaiming heated air
from cooling the grain results in less fuel usage and significant monetary savings. After blending with
ambient air drawn from outside, the pre-heated air is returned to the blowers, lowering energy con-
sumption and producing maximum
efficiency. Easy to operate, clean
and quiet, reliable and efficient,
M-C Tower Series Dryers provide
the best means to lower input costs
and add profit.
PINNACLE LITE
M-C’s simple, easy to use, Pin-
nacle Lite control system with
“TruDry” technology has a touch
screen control panel inside a
remote, NEMA IV-rated control
cabinet. The Pinnacle Lite system
regulates heated air temperature,
fuel flow, and dryer discharge con-
trol’s electrical functions with clear,
easy to understand operation.
Four state-of-the-art RTD sensors
with signal-enhanced transmission
ensure accurate grain sensing.
Remote monitoring capabilities are
available and USB port is standard
for data transfer. Only M-C dryers
come with a failsafe back-up sys-
tem that is simple to engage. All
M-C dryers are able to operate in
manual mode in the unlikely event
of PLC failure.
M-C grain dryers are proven per-
formers! Call 800-323-7045 for a
local M-C dealer.
