Summary
The Australian paddy drying and strage facility adopts an aeration system using high capacity holding bins as dryer and ,storage at the same time in which high moisture paddy are piled and dried slowly until storage moisture. Distinct features, unseen before, were noticed on the shape of the bins and the system of loading and unloading of paddy grain. Monitoring of operations as well as the temperature and moisture content of the grain using computers to ensure efficient drying and safe storage would be useful for designing and operating Japanese rice facilities in the future. The overall rice production and industry facilities in Australia are introduced in this paper.HomePageKeywords: paddy dry storage facility, ambient air aeration system, Australian rice
