Germinating material aerator - esp for malting barley using air current induced by suction

摘要

The blower is mounted on the top of the aerator with a suction manifold leading to an inverted basket air inlet at approx. the centre of the chamber around which the grain is piled. Air is drawn in to the top of the container via a heater/cooler mounted on the hooded lid and there is a Segner water wheel in the top of the container creating a droplet cloud through which the air passes to the interior of the piled grain. A small subsidiary air inlet at the base and further compressed air inlets within the pile may be added.
