Abstract

This document compares the energy performance of a pneumatic dryer and of a flatbed dryer, both commonly used to process cassava on a small-scale operation in Africa. As expected, the pneumatic dryer has higher energy efficiency, attributed to the better contact between the product and the drying air. The work was funded by the CGIAR Research Program on Roots, Tubers and Bananas (RTB) and executed by the Natural Resources Institute (NRI) of the University of Greenwich, United Kingdom, in partnership with the Food Research Institute (FRI) of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Ghana.
