Dryer is one of the key piece of equipment in pellet production. Dryers are one of the most expensive and energy intensive pieces of equipment in the pellet line. Rotary drum dryers have relatively low cost and easy operation procedures. They have a tumbler that regularly exposes the green material to hot air. Suspension dryers …
Conventional rice drying is performed using heated air that transfers energy to the surface of grain kernels by convection. The energy transfer within the kernel is done by conduction. Water is desorbed into the drying air from the kernel surface, and a moisture gradient is established within the kernel, with water molecules diffusion toward the …

The mechanism for drying with microwave energy is quite different from that of standard drying. In standard drying, heat is transferred to the surface of the material by conduction, convection or radiation, and into the interior of the material by thermal conduction. Moisture is initially flashed far from the surface, and therefore the remaining water …
