Abstract:
Peanut has been harvest consistent production operation in Taiwan. However, peanuts fresh pod moisture content up to 50%, most of the way by the sun to dry to the moisture content of less than 12%. The bin dryer commonly be used in the grain drying in the study. According to the characteristics and needs of peanut drying, we explore its possible application mode and establish the standard operation mode of the peanut drying. The mode offered an important advantage of this device reference for the peanut industry when the peanut drying. In order to improve the drying quality and energy efficient, we introduce uniformity operations during traditional peanut drying process. Further development of the bulk bag with a drying function improves the convenience for peanuts out of warehouses that can improve the efficiency of the dryer. In addition to lower production costs, it can improve the traditional peanut drying to depend on artificial, the weather factors, quality loss and other issues to promote develop the peanut industry.
Keywords: Cabinet Dryer, Peanuts Fresh Pod, Drying, Uniformity.
