Abstract
In order to improve the processing properties of corn ear and the utilization of drying equipment, and reduce energy waste, a set of multi-purpose drying systems which using the piecewise drying process was designed. It was divided into dry storage and wet storage according to the different moisture content of corn seed .The wet storage worked with minor-cycles drying, and the dry warehouse worked with a large circular drying. The corn ear was unloaded and delivered to threshing area for threshing operations when its moisture content reached 18%, then dried to safe storage moisture. Experiments show that the system could dry maize ear in short time, the piecewise drying process can reduce energy consumption and production costs 20% to 30%, and improve the average precipitation rates 4.2% compares with the traditional drying process. Meanwhile, the rate of seed crushing is decreased 1% to 1.5%.
