Abstract

Seeds drying technology is essential for ensuring the quality of agricultural products, particularly seeds. Although technological developments have resulted in more effective drying methods, challenges such as high energy consumption persist among small-scale farmers with limited resources. Therefore, this research aimed to analyze the performance of Multi Seeds Smart Dryer with Low Cost and Low Energy Consumption (MSSD-LCEC), a machine designed to solve the inadequacies of traditional seeds drying methods. The machine used low-energy components and environmentally friendly concepts to achieve sustainable seeds drying while remaining affordable for small-scale farmers. Using corn, peanuts, and soybeans as test materials, the performance of MSSD-LCEC was analyzed through the use of factors such as drying rate, energy consumption, temperature, humidity, and moisture content (MC). The results showed that the machine effectively dried seeds in acceptable MC levels, meeting quality standards for seeds certification. This research also discussed the economic benefits of MSSD-LCEC, highlighting the stable performance and efficient energy use. By optimizing the machine's operation and minimizing energy costs, small-scale farmers could enhance their profitability while contributing to environmental sustainability. In conclusion, further refinement of the control system had the potential to enhance both economic benefits and environmental sustainability in seeds processing applications.

Abstract

This study presents the design and implementation of the Multi-Seed Smart Dryer (MSSD) control system. Other research objectives include developing a simple, low-cost, low-energy consumption dryer. The MSSD is designed to be more suitable for seed farmers. The methodology comprises engineering design, fabrication, smart-control development, and implementation. The power supply of 300 W and three (3) fans will generate hot air flow. The dry air flow moves horizontally from the left to right side through 10 rack layers in the drying chamber. Then, racks are arranged vertically to convey the seed. The smart control is designed with two modes and is based on fuzzy logic. The prototype of the dryer was tested using multiple seeds. The results show that MSSD performs well for seed drying. Functional tests using various seeds show that the drying chamber temperature ranges from 32 to 37 °C Meanwhile, relative humidity ranges from 42 to 90%. Furthermore, the germination rate of the dry seed is more than 85%. The system operated stably with an average power consumption of approximately 237 W, below the theoretical demand due to an effective control strategy, indicating energy-efficient and cost-effective drying potential for smallholder farmers under prevailing electricity tariffs (below IDR 2,000/drying cycle). Finally, MSSD can potentially be distributed to farmers for their everyday tasks in seed production.
