PENGERINGAN GABAH DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN PENGERING RESIRKULASI KONTINYU TIPE KONVEYOR PNEUMATIK
ABSTRACT: Rice is one of the
most important food commodities in the world. So we need to handle it seriously
to reduce loss due to improper post-harvest handling. One of the post-harvest
handling that noteworthy is the paddy grain drying process. Paddy grain drying process
by conventional methods are often encounter many obstacles and no longer
relevant to use. Therefore, required an innovative drying tool as an
alternative to paddy grain drying.Recirculating paddy grain dryers with
pneumatic conveyor could be an alternative, because it has several advantages
that good quality dried grain and uniform, and easy to perform control during
the drying process. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of
temperature and velocity of pneumatic air to the drying rate. The variables
studied in this research isthe velocity of pneumatic airflow, and temperature
of drying air. From the research we got that it will be running effectively at
a temperature of 60 ° C and pneumatic air velocity of 20 m / s.
