| Abstract: | To maintain the quality of a number of farm produce during storage they must be dried before or/and during storage. This paper presents the development of an electric batch automatic dryer for biomaterials of high moisture content. The dryer is simple in construction, made of wood coated from inside with aluminum foil. Results of performance tests show that there was 32.31% weight loss after 70 minutes drying of fresh com. Tomatoes and okro lost 89.12% and 48.78% after 470 minutes and 240 minutes of drying respectively. Drying curves have thus been established for com, tomatoes and okro. |
