This study aims to design and develop a grain drying device based on a bed dryer system with automatic temperature control to improve drying efficiency and grain quality. Traditional grain drying methods are highly dependent on weather conditions, require long drying times, and may produce uneven quality. An experimental method was applied through direct testing of the developed device using temperature variations of 45°C, 50°C, and 55°C. The observed parameters included temperature, drying time, heater status, and grain weight. Data were analyzed quantitatively and descriptively to evaluate the device performance in reducing grain moisture content. The results are expected to demonstrate that the developed device can operate effectively, reduce drying time, and produce grain with moisture content that meets the required storage standard. This research is expected to contribute to the development of more effective, efficient, and automated grain drying technology.
