Single-Phase Grain Drying and Handling
Reduce Labor and Energy Costs with BELLE Single-Phase Motors™ from SPPS
Higher capacity grain drying and handling systems often require electric motors ranging in size from 15 to 75 horsepower. Obtaining adequate electrical power for these larger motors can be a real challenge in rural areas where three-phase power is either unavailable or prohibitively expensive, forcing operators to rely on diesel or natural gas generators instead of less costly utility power.
BELLE single-phase motors™ from SPPS are well suited for grain drying and handling systems that require larger horsepower ratings. Designed for operation on rural single-phase distribution systems, their ability to operate on readily available single-phase services enables operators to enjoy the benefits of fully automated systems without costly three-phase service upgrades or the inconvenience of diesel or natural gas generators.
In general, utility costs for electrically driven grain dryers and material handling systems are significantly lower than those powered by engine-powered generators or direct-drive PTO systems. Labor costs for oil and filter changes or engine overhauls are also eliminated, further reducing costs and improving margins. These benefits enable producers to significantly reduce costs and improve productivity.
The ability to operate larger commercial dryers and grain handling equipment in rural areas enables producers to expand their operations and capitalize on opportunities for contract cleaning and drying, increasing utilization and improving profitability.
Eliminating fuel handling and storage equipment for engine driven generators can have significant benefits as environmental regulations become more stringent. The labor savings offered by electrically powered equipment can provide significant returns. BELLE single-phase motors™ are compatible with a wide range of grain handling and drying equipment from most manufacturers. New or retrofit applications can be accommodated with assistance from our in-house engineering staff.
