Most Filipino farmers cannot afford a mechanical drier no matter how simple and inexpensive it might be, but are willing to pay for farm services such as threshing and harvesting. They might also be willing to pay for custom drying if an appropriate service and equipment were available. This study examines the design and development of a rotary semi-fluidized system drier for first stage drying of rice. A prototype flash drier was built based on the conclusions drawn from drying experiments. It must be operated with a fully open loading hopper and the drying temperature for flash drying of rice at flow rate 1 t/h must not exceed 150-170 deg C.
