Abstract: The drying process
is a stage that is quiteimportant to determine the quality of rice is good,
especially the rainy season, so the use ofpaddy dryers (oven) is a must. For
the heatsource used fuel waste rice husk obtained fromthe rest of the rice
mill. Well as efforts toovercome the energy crisis and environmental
sustainability. The purpose of this study is to determine the amount of heat that
occurs ineach rack, knowing the rate of decline dryingand knowing the water
content of rice and the long drying time. Testing rice dryers done by
connecting the oven with a stove burner burningrice husk as a place with a pipe
to drain the hotair. In the rice dryer (oven) there is a rack / container of rice be nested six and
intersecteach containing 2 kg
of rice. Hot airenters from below to above the rack 1 to 6 and then to
the outer shelf. From the test results is known that the decrease in average
water content of 8.875 %, moisture content of grain /rice after drying that is
16.125 %, the drying rate of 0.2695 % / min, the amount of heat received by
rice 173.703 J/ kg. The amount of rice
husks are used in a single drying
1 kg with a time of 60
minutes and the rice is dried as much as 12 kg
