Abstract
A substantial quantity of food grains deteriorates during storage after harvesting due to unawareness of the lm
portance of crop drying, As high. as 20% losses have beer. N:·
corded during sun drying and storage. To avoid such a big
loss a grain dryer has been designed which can save dry ing
and storage losses. Drying of grains by this dryer is easy and
time saving. Moisture removed by this dryer is proportional to
the initial temperature of heat transfer medium (sand).
Moreover, moisture removal rate by this dryer is maximum
at 6 0 sand to grain mass ratio.
