dc.description.abstractA tray type, through-flow drier was designed and developed for drying upto 40 kg of fermented cocoa beans. The drier can be operated on electricity (single phase), biogas burner or kerosene wick stove. During the rainy season 40 kg fermented beans were dried from an initial moisture content of 115% (db) to 8% (db) in 60 hours. The drier gave a heat utilisation efficiency of 53% when operated on electricity. The cost of the drier worked out to Rs. 1000/- and drying cost Rs. 0.50 per kg of dry beans.en_US
