Abstract:

The drying process is natural that the need to preserve foodstuffs such as fish, fruits, rice, etc. have several shortcomings such as: a long time, need some time reversal process and less hygienic. Therefore need to design a dryer that is hygienic and does not depend on sunlight. Machine designed for a capacity of 50 Kg is possessed kompoken Fuel Gas, thermostat, Hot Space and Space dryer and blower for transferring heat to the drying chamber. To dry food with water content of 65% to 25% is required 0.5kg Fuel Gas, Hot Space 0.5 m x 1 m x 2.5 m, 3 m Space Dryer x 1m x 2.5 m, as well as blowers and gas stove. From the tests performed on the machine, it was found that the required temperature is at 55-65 0 C within 60 minutes to dry foodstuffs from 65% to 25% wb wb. The temperature in the drying chamber can be set using the thermostat according to the raw material to be dried.
