Indonesia is an agrarian country rich in agricultural produce because some of its inhabitants have farmers' livelihoods. One of the agricultural products that often suffers damage in agricultural products during post-harvest is grain. Mechanical drying is needed to solve the problem because drying can be done without depending on the weather and more efficiently. The purpose of this study…
Potential heat is wasted from AC condenser (Air Conditioner) is currently only a waste of energy that is exposed to the surrounding environment. This waste heat has the potential as an energy source that can be used for the drying process. If seen from the potential heat generated by a condenser that is quite large (greater than 3 times the electric power of the compressor and hot air temperatu…
Article History: Received 3 June 2019 Accepted 6 March 2020 Available online............ Until today's mass AC (air conditioner) is only used as a tool air conditioning only when there is energy wasted from the condenser that can be utilized again. Related to this is made of clothes dryer by utilizing the heat exhaust from the condenser as a heat source by varying the type of refrigrant use…
One of the crops which is mostly planted in the country of Indonesia is a rice plant. One of post-harvest process is the drying process. Growing technology in agriculture and food, created grain drying technology better and more efficient than conventional drying, on of them with a mechanical dryer. Mechanical dryer basically done using heat from combustion and air is blown through heater or di…
Post-harvest handling of grain before being ground or stored for a long time is drying or reducing water content. To dry the grain to be more effective by using a mechanical dryer. In this study, grain drying was carried out using a continuous vertical dryer by varying the grain mass to determine the effect of grain mass variation on the grain drying time. Mass variations observed were 10 kg,…
Ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc) is a type of herb and medicinal plant that has high economic value and has been widely known by the people of Indonesia. Ginger water content at harvest ranges from 85% - 91% wet base. High levels of water cause ginger to be easily damaged if not immediately processed or dried. The purpose of this study was to determine the analysis of variations in air tempera…

Handling post grain harvest before being ground or stored for a long time is drying or reducing water content. It is intended that rice or grain that still has a high water content is not damaged due to microorganisms and other biological activities. According to the Indonesian National Standard Agency, harvested grain needs to be immediately crushed until it reaches a maximum moisture content …
Drying grain is a procces to reduce water contents with the aim of increasing the quality of rice. There are two methods of dring processe: natural (traditional) and artificial drying methods.Hower, the traditional drying method has several weaknesses i.e esaly contaminated, difficient to control, a large place, a long time. To overcome those weaknesses, an artificial drying apparatus such …
ABSTRACT Drying is one way to extend the shelf life of grain crops such as corn. Post harvest handling of corn that is very drying to determine the quality of corn for the next usage. Corn is an important crop that can serve as a food source. Not only is utilized as food but corn can also be used as feed material, raw material industry and medicine. But in the process of drying many far…
