Abstract	Rice hull, being considered as one of the best bedding materials for broiler-breeders, is also a home for microorganisms including pathogens. The impurities present on the rice hull and the wet condition brought by several factors such as the open location, dry and wet season, enhances degradation on the quality of the material. With this, the study was conceptualized to develop a machine for rice hull drying and cleaning through removal of moisture and impurities. The machine is a continuous fed, convective-type, single-pass, horizontal dryer with cleaner. It operates on the principle of simultaneous effect of drying and sieving actions. The machine uses fined-type electric heaters as heat source. It is composed of six major assemblies; dryer-cleaner assembly, power transmission assembly, fan-heater assembly, hopper assembly, discharge chute assembly, and frame assembly.
