ABSTRACT
This anick concerns the convective drying of natural rubber in granule form and aims at improving production. Parts of the research have already been published. With a validated mathematical model, il is possible to know the properties of the medium at any moment and for any point in the tayer. The research led to a simulation program for a zone-type industrial dnjir. The simulation program was used in an exhaustive study of the influence of the drying pifttfmeters for the design of a prototype industrial drier.
