Abstract
This paper pertains to development of an energy-efficient drying system which can produce hygienic-quality desiccated coconut (DC). As against Conventional Multi-tier venetian Dryer, Vibratory Fluidised Bed Dryer has been developed with temperature and fluidisation velocity varying along the length of the dryer. The distributor plate, dedusting and re-injection systems for fly-off were developed for hygienic processing. After conducting studies on pilot scale, a full size proto-type was put up in a DC Mill in Sri Lanka. This prototype had provision for varying process parameters to arrive at optimum parameters. The equipment was installed at a DC Mill in Sri Lanka and experiments
conducted, the results from which have been found very rewarding.
