Influence of Oscillatory Motion of a Rice Dehydrator on Energy Consumption and Milling Quality of Rice

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of oscillatory motion a rice dehydrator on drying time, rate, electrical energy consumption, specific milling quality (broken milled rice, head and recovery) varieties FARO 62, 15, 60. The was designed operate either in stationary or motion. influences consumption regardless variety. time ranged from 125 290 mins, rate (2.897 6.72 kgH2O/kg solids h), (15.43 35.46 MJ), (5.25 11.20 MJ/kg), recovery (67.58 73.97%), (60.47 69.10%) broken (1.62 9.46%), respectively. aided shorter faster less desirable quality. concluded that adoption during would aid conservation production rice.
