The ratio of effective volume between tempering layer and drying layer of traditional paddy dryer in batch was usually 4～8, and some problems such as power consumption and damaged paddy caused by moving parts were increased during continuous operation. Therefore, paddy dryer of multi-drying layer in batch was designed, which the ratio of effective volume between tempering layer and multi-drying layer was less than 1, and the technique of intermittent circulating combined static drying and cycle drying was applied. Spot testing has showed that the technique can reduce the power consumption by 40%, and cut down the damage rate of paddy by 50%, caused by mechanism of material lifting, distributing and discharging compared with the present drying technology. Meanwhile the new type paddy drier in batch can increase production about 3% compared with that of same volume and the drying quality can be ensured.
