  • GSI and FFI Farm Tower Dryers

    GSI Tower Dryers are the largest holding capacity dryers with the longest retention times on the market today.  GSI and FFI's Modular and T-Series Tower Dryers are ideally suited for medium to large farm operations. GSI Tower Dryers offer farm operations the flexibility to not only dry but also cool from 800 to 7,000 BPH of any cereal or feed grain so they can be safely stored in long-term storage bins. Even with their large capacities, GSI Tower Dryers have a relatively small footprint. With the vacuum cooling system, heat from the hot, dry grain is used for drying wet grain, increasing efficiency and resulting in significant fuel savings for your bottom line.

  • Zimmerman and GSI Commercial Tower Dryers 

    Walter Zimmerman of Litchfield, IL, first conceived of Zimmerman Grain Dryers in 1963. He was designing grain dryers that needed to be built using components that were high quality and long lasting. Today, at GSI, we carry on the tradition by providing commercial grain dryers that incorporate innovative engineering, premium components, and the highest regarded service program available. Designed to handle up to 12,000 bph, from the time the grain enters to when it leaves, Zimmerman tower dryers are designed to be gentle on the grain and provide the highest quality product for you and your customers. Maximizing your productivity and profitability is our goal.  See a Brochure below to see what sets the Zimmerman/GSI Tower Dryers apart from the competition with over 50 years of innovative design expertise! 

  • Quiet Dryers

    Noise is a common occupational hazard and around the farm, your grain system is a high-level source. The first time you hear a GSI Quiet Dryer, you'll realize just how much the reduced noise level and improved tone increase the comfort level of the work area. The GSI Quiet Dryer is 50% quieter than vane axial portable dryers and it produces a more comfortable, less harsh tone. The Quiet Dryer uses a best-in-class, commercial grade blower - this is the same blower used in Zimmerman tower dryers - without any loss in capacity or airflow, and with comparable electrical efficiency to GSI vane axial fan portable dryers. Talk to the team at Schafstalls and the brochures below to hear the difference in your farm's dryer output without sacrificing output or efficiency!     

  • TopDry
     With the GSI TopDry Grain Dryer, you get the best of both worlds – a highly efficient grain dryer with the added benefit of grain storage. TopDry’s proven design utilizes a grain bin with the addition of a peaked drying floor inside the top of the bin. The grain flows into the top of the bin where special leveling bands keep the grain at a uniform depth without requiring a leveling device, while the pitched floor of the dryer provides increased surface area for maximum drying capacity. All fan units are located on the ground via duct work for easy operation and maintenance. Similar to a tower dryer, all cooling airflow and heat are recovered and recycled into the air and heat from the main fans, which provides the best efficiency possible. GSI's TopDry dryers are now equipped with TopDry Terminal, bringing increased control and access to TopDry settings that provide full control over the system, fans, heaters, and dump chutes with monitoring and safety equipment in place. See the brochures below to see the benefits a TopDry can provide for your operation today!
