Abstract

The objective
of
producing
a low energy
drying machine
is
to
help
chips
industries
in increasing
their
productivify
by
shortening
the drying
time. Up to
now
they
use heat of sunlight to dry
the
chips.
This
process
is rime consuming
arrd
why the dry season
colnes,
the
process is
delayed.
It decreases the
quality
of chips. fhe drying machine
produced
uses firewood
placed
in a furnace
as the
heat source.
The
heat
is then flown through
pipes
into
the
drying room, where wet
chips are
placed.
,,;
The
room
has
a
length
of 1.2 m, a height
of
I m and a width
ot-
I m. It
has two
doors and equipped
with a thermometer. Below the room,
there is a furnace having
capacity
cf
6 kg f-rre wood
and
an oxygen
inlet. The drying temperature
is 60
I kg firewood
can
produce
the
heat with
temperature
of
60
-
70o
C for
1.5
hours.The
drying
process
of wet
chips takes about 5 hours,
For that of half
dry
chips, it takes
2
hours. This
machine
has capacify of
2.400
rvet
chips and 6.000
half
dry
chips.
