Small-scale drain dryers.

The grain production sector in Southeast Asia is generally fragmented, small scale, labour intensive, and uses traditional technology. The majority of drying technology adopted is of the small scale type. This paper reviews and evaluates small scale driers that have been adopted or at least promoted for drying grain in Southeast Asia. These driers vary in terms of the grain heating method (forced convection, natural convention, conduction), grain holding method (batch, recirculating batch, continuous flow), control systems (manual, semi-automatic, automatic), stage of drying process (pre-drying or first stage drying, second stage drying, single stage drying) and drying capacity (1-6 t per 8-hour operating day). This paper also describes the level of adoption of small scale drying technology and the underlying reasons for particular adoption levels. Recommendations are made for the requirements and features necessary for a small scale drier to warrant adoption.
