Zimmerman

Zimmerman Equipment was founded by Walter Zimmerman of Litchfield, Illinois in the late 1950's. In 1966, Zimmerman's first 3,000 bushel per hour dryer was erected in Bloomington, Illinois, with three external blowers.

Due to noise and air pollution becoming a problem for grain elevators, in 1970 the Zimmerman dryer was redesigned so that blowers were installed internally. This design change made the dryer extremely clean and quiet.

In the 1970's the Zimmerman dryer became well known throughout the U.S. commercial grain drying industry. In the coming years, Zimmerman grain dryers would become very popular because of their efficiency, reliability, low noise output, and clean operation.

Today, Zimmerman's tradition of providing commercial grain dryers incorporating innovative engineering, premium components, and the highest regarded service program available continues under the ownership of ffi Corporation.
