Research Dryer for Drying Agricultural Products

Review on the Application of a Tray Dryer System for Agricultural Products

Application of tray dryer is widely used in agricultural drying because of its simple design and capability to dry products at high volume. However, the greatest drawback of the tray dryer is uneven drying because of poor airflow distribution in the drying chamber. Implementing the proper design of a tray dryer system may eliminate or reduce non-uniformity of drying and increases dryer efficien...

Drying of Municipal Sewage Sludge: from a Laboratory Scale Batch Indirect Dryer to the Paddle Dryer

Among available technologies, disk and paddle dryers are often encountered in France to process municipal sewage sludge but their thermal design is still a question of know how rather than scientific knowledge. From experiments performed on an industrial Naratherm paddle dryer and the literature, a simple model has been developed. The dryer is divided into two parts depending on the sludge cons...

Drying tea in a kilburn vibro fluid bed dryer

The fluidized bed drying principles for drying of tea in Bangladesh is thoroughly studied. The experiments were conducted to determine the drying curve, drying time, drying constant and dynamic equilibrium moisture contents of tea at the Bangladesh Tea Research Institute. Drying of tea in a fluidized bed dryer (Kilburn Vibro Fluid Bed Dryer) takes only 20 min for drying from an initial moisture...

design principles of experimental fluidized bed dryer for some agricultural products

in order to study the fluidization behavior of grains, a laboratory fluidized bed dryer (fbd) was designed and developed. forward blade centrifugal fan with 1.5 kw electric motor, was selected to be used based on the highest pressure loss calculated at minimum fluidization condition and airflow rate at terminal velocity of the selected grains (paddy, soybean, millet and barley). the dryer was c...
