3. Types of Paddy Straw Dryers
These dryers use
heated air to
directly come in
contact with
the paddy straw to
remove moisture.
Indirect dryers use a
heat exchanger to
provide the necessary
heat, ensuring that the
paddy straw does not
come in direct contact
with the heating
medium.
These dryers are
designed for smaller
quantities of paddy
straw and operate in a
batch-wise fashion,
suitable for small-
scale operations.
Paddy straw dryers come in various types, each designed to cater to specific agricultural
requirements and operational preferences.
Continuous dryers
are ideal for larger-
scale operations,
allowing
for a continuous and
uninterrupted drying
proce ss.
