Development of a dehumidifier dryer for drying pipe cones and pine pollen catkins.

Author(s) : CHEN G., BANNISTER P., CARRINGTON C. G., et al.

Summary

A critical issue for the plantation forest industry is the preservation and control of genetic material in order to control the fertilisation process. This is best achieved by drying at low temperature and humidity prior to manual extraction of seeds and pollen. This paper describes the design of such a drying system, including a review of the dehumidifier and the kiln design parameters. Performance data and operating experience for one season's commercial operation are presented and analysed.
