Rough Rice Drying by the Paddy Container (Rart 2)

Heated Air Drying by Electric Heater

Abstract

Paddy containers equipped with fans are also available as forced air dryer in a fine ambient condition. However, there is a danger of paddy wetting in rainy or cloudy humid conditions. To improve it, an electric heater with small capacity was set up in front of the fan. The drying capacity was sufficiently increased by this method, providing a stable method of drying under high humid climatic conditions. The method is also economically worthwhile in terms of power consumption.
