The aim of this research is to conduct a design innovation cloves drying machine body types utilizing woody biomass as an energy source for farmer’s cloves. Dryer machine design aims to conduct a clove dryer design innovation to produce a large capacity and fast drying. The drying machine uses fuel (heating) derived from biomass (wood), which is burned at a 3.8 kg/hour rate. Cloves drying machine capacity is 100 kg, which is the desired moisture content down from 70.83% to 14%. Some parameters that must be specified include air condition dryer, dryer basin specifications, specifications fan, furnace specifications, and the drying time. Dryer design specifications tub is calculated based on capacity, bulk density, and height of a pile of cloves. The rate is calculated based on the air mass flow rate and the specific volume of air heaters. Blower power is needed to calculate the value of pressure drop and flow rate of air. Furthermore, the motor power is generated through the blower power ratio of the blower efficiency. Motor power required to design cloves drying machine is 0.5 Hp. Furnace power is determined by the difference in enthalpy of the air heater with ambient air. Drying time is faster than traditional dryers to 34 hours.
