Dryer

Sugar Dryer At Macknade Mill, FNQ

One of the things I did with Bob Bitmead (photographer) and Allan Connolly (pictured at far right; I'm the one with his back to the camera) is look at the modelling and control of a sugar dryer.  The steel pole with the cans on it was named "The Proboscis".  It allowed us to sample sugar at intervals throughout the dryer so we could measure temperature and moisture content.

Thanks to Bob Bitmead for the photo!!
