Abstract

Relating to the previous report, the utility effects of the high-speed dryers were evaluated in terms of the accumulative respiration of the paddy, quality of paddy and economical effects. In addition, the utilization of the high- speed dryers for a large scale drying facilities was studied. The following achievements were attained. 1. The preheating of paddy drying makes the high-speed drying possible without increasing the temperature of brown rice. The accumulative respiration of a paddy can be reduced to one third of that with the conventional dryers. Because the high-speed drying minimizes the damage to the paddy, it is valuable in terms of the quality of the paddy. 2. The utilization of high-speed dryers at a high moisture level is effective for the removal of moisture. Although, the improvement in drying performance depends upon the moisture level of the paddy. It is expected that the drying performance can be improved by approximately 1.5 times of that with the conventional dryers. 3. Because of the increase in drying speed, the operating costs of the dryers can be reduced by half. However, the less of moisture removed, the less the effect on the operation costs. 4. The application of the high-speed dryers to the rack type paddy storage facilities is useful to minimize the stagnation of paddy cargoes at the peak of unloading. For instance, the installation of a 9 ton type high-speed dryer reduced the stagnation of paddy cargoes by approximately 80 tons.
