Abstract
A microwave dryer includes a vertical chamber having sensors determining the level of agricultural products in the chamber and a series of wave generators delivering wave energy into the chamber. If the level sensors detect an air/product interface in the chamber, wave generators above the interface are deactivated. Temperature sensors in the chamber are used to limit power input through the wave generators and to determine the presence of water rich areas in the chamber. In the event water rich areas are detected, additional power is delivered to wave generators downstream of the water rich areas. The wave generators are mounted on a wall spaced from the chamber through which product flows.
