Abstract

There is a review and analysis of methods and equipment for intensifying of agricultural plant materials drying process. The designs of dryers for agriculture are presented. These driers enable the use of energy-saving methods in the production of agricultural products.
The general structural scheme of the directions of energy saving during drying and the means of their realization is formed.
The general structural scheme of the directions of energy saving during drying and the means of their realization is formed.
In general, energy saving methods for drying agricultural products can be divided as follows: preparation of seeds for drying by separation; preparation of material for drying as a result of cutting into smaller parts; improvement of moisture removal conditions due to cutting of bean's surface; change of the structure of the layer of bulk material during the drying process; use of layer activators of loose seed material; differential feeding of drying agent in different drying zones; formation of optimal forms of drying chambers from the position of maximal use of the potential of the drying agent.
The obtained research results show that it is possible to use technical means for the intensification of drying of agricultural plant materials. This equipment complements the technological drying process. The application of a mechanical system for intensifying drying affects the process of moist removal. This significantly reduces the operating time of the dryer.
