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…
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,…

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 …
Indonesia is an agricultural country that is rich of agricultural products, one of them is grain. Even Indonesia is in the third rank with a total production of 70.8 million tonnes / year. However grain processing does not meet the actual grain harvests obtained . This is due to the not optimal process. Milling grain entrepreneurs and farmers in Indonesia are currently conducting a drying proce…
