Comparative study on storage behaviour of wheat in different storage bags

Techno-Economic Analysis of a Crossflow Column Dryer for Maize Drying in Ghana

“…According to Chakraverty and Singh [22], this is a common phenomenon in deep bed dryers, which leads to grains at the inner section drying faster compared to grains at the outer section. The findings of this study are corroborated by Kumar et al [21]. They made similar observations in moisture content variations of wheat and maize grains dried in a similar deep bed dryer.…”

“…before storage in tropical weather conditions like Ghana, Kaaya and Kyamuhangire [11] recommend that thorough mixing of grains close to the inner and outer sections during unloading should be encouraged. The findings of this study are corroborated by Kumar et al [21]. They made similar observations in moisture content variations of wheat and maize grains dried in a similar deep bed dryer.…”

“…In the drying chamber, average temperatures of 39.4 ± 2.3, 36.1 ± 1.2 and 39.9 ± 2.5 • C were recorded at L1, L2, and L3, respectively. A similar observation was made by Alam et al [20] and Kumar et al [21], who worked on the performance of a column drying system where there were no substantial differences in temperatures between the top, middle, and bottom sections of the drying chamber.…”
