The kiln consists of an electric heating supply system, a heat-transfer fan, a two-way conveyor that draws rice from the boat to the kiln and transfers the rice after drying from the kiln to a boat. 50 tons / day about 450 million.

Mr. Nguyen Van Hoang - the owner of a rice business in Nha Ban town, Tinh Bien district, An Giang province - said: 'The drying results are beyond expectations, the cost and time for drying rice is equivalent to the kiln. Rice husk drying is used, but the quality of rice is higher, and is less silvery due to stable drying temperature '.

With this result, Mr. Ha Van Hien was guided by An Giang Department of Science and Technology to register the industrial property rights for electric rice drying kilns.
