Dryer Automation
Get your dryer running reliably again
When the dryer control panel fails, drying stops. The Maass panel restores operation and adds controls, protections and automated functions according to the supply.
Typical situations
Do any of these sound familiar?
01
Panel failed or stopped
The dryer is down and harvest is coming. The panel needs to be replaced.
02
Planned upgrade
The panel works, but lacks controls and information to monitor drying.
03
Dryer manufacturers
Add control and automation to new equipment, with aligned specification and testing.

Dryer Automation
Your dryer running again, under control
01 / 05
The panel failed and the dryer stopped
With harvest coming, a faulty panel stops drying and blocks intake.
02 / 05
New Maass panel
We replace the panel with controls, protections and an operator interface sized for your dryer.
03 / 05
Sequential start
Motors start in the right order, controlled by the panel, and grain flows through the tower again.
04 / 05
Temperatures on screen
The operator follows drying air and grain mass temperatures on the interface.
05 / 05
Protections in action
Under an abnormal condition, alarms and interlocks act according to the configuration, and the dryer returns to its operating range.
How it works
What the system does for you
- 1
Centralized control
Starts, stops and motor sequence of the dryer in a single panel.
- 2
Temperature readings
Monitoring of drying air and grain mass temperatures.
- 3
Protections
Alarms and interlocks for abnormal conditions, according to the configuration.
- 4
Operator interface
A screen for the operator to monitor and control the dryer.
Before
- Dryer stopped by a panel failure
- Adjustments made by eye and experience
- Little information to follow the drying process
With Maass
- Dryer operating reliably again
- Temperatures visible on the interface
- Protections acting under the configured conditions
Less manual intervention does not automatically mean a smaller team. The gain depends on each facility’s routine.
Features
What makes a difference in daily use
Features available according to the contracted configuration.
Fast replacement
Sizing and lead time defined from the model and current controls.
Controls and protections
Safety and automation features applicable to your dryer.
For manufacturers
Panel supply aligned with specification, assembly and testing.
Integration and installation
How the change happens at your facility
Before the proposal, we survey the model, current controls, symptoms, equipment involved and available window. Then come panel manufacturing, installation, testing and operator guidance.
FAQ
Questions about this solution
Is it better to repair or replace the panel?
It depends on the panel condition, parts availability and the harvest window. We compare both options during the survey.
Does the new panel save fuel?
We do not promise fuel savings without a specific assessment. The focus is reliable operation, controls and protections.
Do you supply dryer manufacturers?
Yes. We align specification, interfaces, supply, assembly, testing and responsibilities.
