DRYING METHOD FOR SMALL-SEEDED CROPS AND DEVICE FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC F26B3/14 F26B17/12 

FIELD: machine engineering.

SUBSTANCE: drying method for small-seeded crops is that the seeds are loaded, preheated, laid, cooled and unloaded. The seeds are dried circulated quasi-isothermally, and the moisture removal per cycle is determined by the calculation formula, then they are laid out for the time determined from the calculation formula. The device for drying the small-seeded crops contains an over-the-drier hopper, a drying chamber, external and internal perforated cylinders, a vertical conveyor, a furnace, a fan, a system of loading and unloading facilities. The device contains a heat insulated cover over the drying chamber and a heat insulation of the over-the-drier hopper and the external and internal perforated cylinders are installed with the clearance not exceeding 0.25 m.

EFFECT: improving the quality of drying.
