Edwards Grain Guard FC 15-5-3-5 Aeration Fan

Edwards Grain Guard FC 15-5-3-5 Aeration Fan

This equipment is a heavy-duty agricultural aeration and crop conditioning fan manufactured by AGI Grain Guard. It is designed to connect directly to the side of a grain storage bin to force large volumes of air through piled crops (such as wheat, canola, corn, or barley).

Specs:

• Horsepower (H.P.): 5
• Brake Horsepower (AMD. BRK HP): 5.0
• Voltage (VOLT MAX): 575 V
• Amperage (AMP MAX. AT): 6.2 A
• Phase: 3-Phase
• Rated Speed: 3450 RPM
• Protection: Thermally Protected
• Airflow Volume (CFM): 1980 CFM
• Max Static Pressure: 11.0 IN., WC (From 0 IN. TO)
• AMD Rating: 10.0 IN., WC

Its primary functions include:

• Natural Air Grain Drying: It pushes ambient outdoor air through wet or freshly harvested grain to safely reduce its moisture content, preventing spoilage without needing high-heat commercial dryers
• Aeration & Temperature Management: Grain generates heat when stored. This fan cools down the grain mass to eliminate "hot spots" and balance the internal temperature, which stops condensation, mold growth, and insect infestations
• Supplemental Low-Temperature Drying: It can be paired with an add-on propane or natural gas downstream heater. The fan blows air through the heater and into the bin, dropping the ambient humidity by up to 50% so farmers can dry their grain 24 hours a day, even in damp weather
