Today many industries now use the dryer as a part of grain-drying process even during wet and dry seasons. This helps in reducing spoilage and wastage of paddy. Mostly the available industrial dryers are expensive to purchase and to maintain its smooth functioning. This study therefore is a step to design a simple Plug flow fluidized dryer that can lead to introduce small scale dryers to paddy process industry. The Plug flow fluidized bed dryers are designed and fabricated in this study consists of the drying chamber, hot air distributer plate, hot air inlet and exit system, paddy entry and exit system, fluidization chamber unit with temperature control unit and the centrifugal fan. The evaluation of dryer is based on drying time and reduction in moisture content and outlet temperature of paddy on quality parameters. Dryer dimensions are very important to analyze heat and mass transfer analysis of the Plug flow fluidized bed drying process of paddy grains. It was found d that heat and mass transfer properties of paddy grains in fluidized bed dryer was decreases as the time of drying passes and very rapid at the start of drying. The model present here predicts about dryer dimensions along safe zone of rough rice moisture content with other parameters. Simulation results show a good agreement between the simulation model and the existing simulation models

Present paper have like objective the experimental study regarding the intensification of the drying process of malt using like drying agent the atmospheric air at ambient temperature and at 45oC, in flotation-fluidized bed. To reduce the operating drying period by using the fluidization agent at 45oC, it was studied the drying in mixt bed, formed by inert particles (sand, dp=150mm, smashed malt, ) and wet malt grains (in flotation state). Comparing the drying periods and the final moistures obtained at the malt drying in fixed bed (fixed mixt bed) with those obtained in fluidized mixt bed was establish that: the drying in fluidized conditions conduce at an uniform final moisture product; the economical operating conditions for a final moisture (4 - 6%) imposed by the technological process.

This artical also discusses about demostration of fluidized bed dryer with principle and application and other processing. This has lead to development of thechnology, process and equipments which not only reduce time but also increasing the output. A Fluidized bed dryer significantely reduce drying time, compared with vaccum dryer or tray dryer. In the pharmacutical industry, fluidized bed dryer are typically used for pellets drying, coating and granulation. Fluidized bed drying are very well known to yield high heat and mass transfer and hence adopted to many industrial drying process particularly pharmacy product. In this paper we show construction, working of the fluidized bed dryer. It work on the drying principle. It has several advantages and disadvantages.

Red chili is an agricultural product that contains high moisture. In this study, the drying process of red chili was conducted by using two methods which are conventional method of drying under the sun and by using swirling fluidized bed dryer. A fluidized bed column of 108 mm in diameter with slotted distributor of 45° inclination angles was used in the experiment. Result of drying by using conventional method showed that for 1kg of sample the drying time was 13 days with 212g weight reduction and the color of the red chili changed from red to dark red. Meanwhile for swirling fluidized bed dryer the time required was 4 days, 200g weight reduction and the color of red chili maintained. Based on the results obtained, the drying of red chili by using swirling fluidized bed dryer is more efficient as compared to drying by using conventional method.

In this study, an investigation on olive cake as on alternative fuel and effect of drying air temperature and drying air velocity is conducted. In many developing countries olive cake is considered as a biomass and can be used in very large amounts at very low cost. The effect of drying air temperature and air velocity at constant humidity conditions was studied. A process for drying of olive cake in a fluidized bed dryer is proposed. Results of these experiments of the olive cake indicated that olive cake has an excellent potential to be a renewable source of energy and suitable material for these types of dryers.

<em>Sago starch drying done to reduce the moisture content in starch, so as to increase the shelf life and quality of dry starch. The drying process should be done while maintaining the physicochemical properties of sago starch. The research goal is to find the proper drying techniques to produce dried sago starch has a moisture content corresponding to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI). The experiments were performed three times with variations in temperature 40<sup>o</sup>C, 50<sup>o</sup>C, and 60<sup>o</sup>C. The moisture content of sago starch obtained at temperatures 40<sup>o</sup>C, 50<sup>o</sup>C, and 60<sup>o</sup>C, respectively 13.75% wb, 13.50% wb and 13.42% wb. Drying time at drying temperature of 40<sup>o</sup>C, 50<sup>o</sup>C, and 60<sup>o</sup>C respectively 5.5 hours, 4 hours, and 3 hours. A good drying sago starch using cross flow fluidized bed dryer at a temperature of 60�C ie, it reduces the moisture content more quickly in accordance with the SNI, and gelatinization does not occur during the drying process.</em>
