METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTAINER DRYING OF SEEDS Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC F26B3/14 F26B17/12 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to drying of seeds and can be used in agriculture. Method of container drying of seeds consists in fact that seeds are loaded into containers, which are installed on modules making heat-conducting channel, ventilated with drying agent and unloaded. During ventilation containers are turned relative to module with frequency of $$N=\frac{H}{h_e}$$ (where H is total; and h_d is admissible layer height, m). Device for container drying of seeds includes heat generator 1, heat-conducting channel 2 composed of interconnected modules 3 with drying agent flow control valves 4, containers 5, sampler 6, loading facility 7 for installation, removal and unloading of containers 5. Novelty is that device for container drying is equipped with control panel 8 with microprocessor, seeds temperature, humidity and drying agent flow rate measuring sensors 9, loading facility 7 and its mechanisms movement step drive 10 relative to modules 3 and containers 5. Each module 3 is equipped with shutter plate 11 with drive, lower and upper plane containers 5 are made in form of arrays, one of which is removable. On lateral sides of U-shaped frame vertical guides are symmetrically fixed accommodating slides and coaxial clamps 21 pivotally connected to them with retainers to engage with fittings 15 containers 5 with possibility of vertical displacement by step drive and rotation in longitudinal vertical plane by step rotation drive about transverse axis.

EFFECT: invention shall improve efficiency of drying process by drying of seeds with increased height layer.
