Development Of Low Cost Batch Drier To Enhance Value Chain Cassava Chips Production
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 11
Abstract
A small size cassava chips batch dryer was designed, constructed and evaluated at the Department of Agricultural and Bio-Environmental Engineering of the Federal Polytechnic, Ado Ekiti. The system consists of the following components: frame, drying chamber, electric heater, blower, drying trays and controlling unit. The system works on a heating coil of 500watts as the source of heat and a circulation fan that runs at 60 watts. The compartment was holed up at a chimney to allow for escape of moist air. The cost is moderate and affordable.
