Smarter control for easier operation, faster diagnostics and better visibility
Graintek designs, builds and programmes PLC control systems in-house, giving customers clearer control over their drying, handling and monitoring equipment.
From full colour touchscreen graphics to remote access, mobile connectivity and fault diagnosis support, our control systems are built to make complex grain plant easier to understand, operate and manage.
Better control means less guesswork across your grain system
When a drying or handling system is working hard, operators need to know what is happening quickly and clearly. Poor visibility can make it harder to manage performance, diagnose issues, monitor equipment and respond before small problems become more disruptive.
Graintek control systems are designed to give users a clearer view of their plant. With intuitive displays, practical graphics and remote support options, the system helps operators understand what is happening across key equipment and make better-informed decisions during day-to-day use.
The aim is simple: make the plant easier to run, easier to monitor and easier to support.

PLC Control Systems
Graintek uses PLC control technology to manage key plant operations, helping bring drying, handling and monitoring equipment into one clearer, more joined-up system.
Full Colour Touchscreen Graphics
Touchscreen interfaces and clear visual graphics make it easier for operators to understand what the plant is doing, reducing the need to interpret complicated controls.
3D Graphic Displays
Graintek Tornado Grain Dryers can be supplied with 3D graphics, helping users interpret system activity more easily during daily operation.
Remote Computer Access
Control systems can be linked to remote computer access, giving users greater flexibility when monitoring or managing plant away from the main control panel.
Mobile Connectivity
Mobile phone connectivity can allow operators to monitor and control parts of the dryer plant while out in the field or away from the main panel.
Fault Diagnosis Support
Online connection to Graintek can help support rapid fault diagnosis, system alterations or updates, reducing the time needed to understand and respond to issues.
Grain Store Monitoring
Control systems can support grain store temperature monitoring, helping users keep better visibility over storage conditions and ventilation requirements.
System Integration
Graintek products can be linked into the control system, helping create a more connected setup that is easier for the end user to follow and manage.
Graintek pioneered PLC control in grain dryers when others thought it was too difficult, because we could see the value it would bring to real operators. Better visibility, easier control, faster diagnostics and smarter support still shape how we build today, from Tornado Grain Dryers and specialist drying systems to in-house control panels designed around each customer’s site.
Designed, built and programmed in-house
Unlike manufacturers who rely entirely on external control solutions, Graintek designs, builds and programmes control panels in-house to suit each client’s specific requirements.
This gives the team greater control over how the system is designed, how it communicates with the equipment and how it supports the customer once the plant is in use. It also means the people supporting the system understand how it has been built and why it has been set up in that way.
For customers, that creates a more joined-up experience from design and installation through to commissioning, servicing and support.
Poor visibility turns small issues into bigger problems.
Graintek control systems help operators understand what is happening across their plant, respond faster and keep drying, handling and monitoring equipment easier to manage.
