10. Lifting and Stacking the Modules
PNEG-1708 GSI Modular Tower Dryer 61
10. To stack additional sections, repeat the process as described above - always remember to line up
the ladder brackets on the modules -- and follow the suggested sequence illustrated earlier in
this chapter.
• Consider the orientation of each module as it pertains to ladders and catwalks before placing it
on the module for connection.
• Secure the module with clevis hooks and lifting straps. Lift with crane and place on top of
next module.
• Place section together but do not fully rest upper section on lower section.
• Use hammers and punches to line up connecting holes in channels both inside and outside
of dryer.
• Insert nut and bolt and finger tighten in every hole or every other hole as appropriate.
• Tighten with power impact.
• Caulk gaps with clear food-grade silicone as needed.

NOTE: ALWAYS stack and connect so that as much work as possible is done as close to the ground
as possible. Use the illustrations at the beginning of this chapter as a guide to accomplish this.
