PENERAPAN TEKNOLOGI FLUIDIZED BED DRYER DENGAN PENAMBAHAN ZEOLIT 3A UNTUK MENINGKATKAN EFISIENSI PENGERINGAN GABAH
ABSTRACT: Now, drying
paddy using conventional method is
irrelevant to used. The need of grain increasing each year is one of the main
factor that pushes scientist to invent new methods of drying paddy grain. The
old method is unusefull since it takes up space, needed the sun as the drying
media which causes a long drying time. One of the alternative of drying paddy
grain is by using mechanic dryer. By using this type of dryer, the process of
drying takes faster comparing to the old method and the distribution of grain
is supplied continuously. The dryer which uses fluidized bed can be one of the solution due to its less
energy consumption, a better drying result and high drying capacity. The
variable used to identify drying performance is temperature and loading weight.
From the experiment, it is resulted that the best temperature for drying paddy
grain is 50 C with the flowrate 3,5 m/s.
