FP RDI [Forest Products Research and Development Institute] low-cost handicraft dryer
2014
Carmelo, W.H.
Quality drying is a major concern in the production to export-quality handicraft products. However, in the Philippines, the high cost of installing a handicraft dryer is a hindrance to many small- and medium-scale handicraft producers. Hence, a low cost handicraft dryer (LCHD) was conceptualized based on design principles of an effective dryer. The flue pipe design criteria were based on the equations governing volumetric flow rate and velocity of fluid in a pipe. A 10 cum capacity prototype dryer was constructed at R.A. Bagabaldo Wood Carvings in Paete, Laguna Province [Philippines]. A comparative test run indicated that fuel consumption using the LCHD was 22-38% lower than in the FPRDI furnace-type lumber dryer (FTLD).
