Core offering

Dryer Master Inc. designs, manufactures, and sells automated moisture monitoring and control systems for grain drying and adjacent industrial drying applications. Its core product line comprises programmable controllers with adaptive control algorithms, real-time in-bin moisture sensors, and complementary monitoring hardware and software that allow customers to automate the drying of grains, seeds, food ingredients, and similar bulk products. The company also licenses its control technology to grain dryer original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for embedded integration.

Product overview

Dryer Master offers a portfolio of moisture monitoring and drying control products centered around real-time stainless steel fin-style moisture sensors. The core products are the DM510 Controller (advanced predictive grain drying control) and DM100 (basic moisture monitoring and control). These integrate with sensor options (2220 and 2300 series), mounting solutions (Rotary Feed Chutes), and monitoring displays (GM2/M2, AM3, Moisture Monitor Pro). The DM510 can be deployed as a standalone controller or as the embedded DM510ec for OEM integration into third-party dryer panels. Remote access is provided via DM Mobile web platform. The system serves agriculture (grains including corn, wheat, soybeans, canola, rice), pet food, coffee, soymeal, ethanol/DDGS, and engineered wood products industries.
