“…Notably, it exhibits enhanced resistance to drought and pest attacks, thereby requiring less investment for cultivation. Additionally, sorghum can be employed in biomass production, serving as a source of nutrition for agriculture and livestock, and can even be used as a feedstock for ethanol production [4,5]. Projections indicate that Brazil´s sorghum production for the 2022-23 crop is expected to reach approximately 3.9 million tons, representing a substantial increase of 33.9% compared to the previous harvest.…”

Drying grains in a fixed bed can be an interesting alternative to prevent undesirable breaks and fractures of solids due to mechanical shocks, something that cannot be avoided when drying in moving beds. A disadvantage of fixed bed drying is that there can be significant gradients in the critical variables if the layer of particulate solids is thick. This work shows that periodically changing the direction of drying air flow is an effective technique to reduce differences within the bed and allow better uniformity of the product. Drying in a thick layer of 10 cm of sorghum grains was carried out at 50 and 60oC for air flow velocity of 2.1 m.s-1. The results showed that despite increasing the total drying time, the technique actually allowed a significant decrease in the temperature gradients and moisture content of the sorghum grains. The change in direction of the air flow caused the drying front to be displaced, sometimes towards the top, sometimes towards the base of the bed. At 50oC, drying lasted a total of 240 min, bringing the sorghum grains to an average overall moisture content of 0.13 on a dry basis.
