Laboratory experiments have shown the feasibility of drying milling wheat from 17.0 to 14.5% moisture content using hot sand. The amount of moisture removed increased with the increase in residence time from 1 to 2 min but decreased when the residence time was increased to 3 min. Heated sand to wheat mass ratios ranging between 3:1 and 5:1 were found to be effective in removing moisture from wheat with sand temperatures ranging from 90 to 105°C.
