RESUMO

A Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 parchment coffee drying program was implemented. Two separate programs, based on the Thompson and Michigan State University (MSU) models, using Cenicafé coffee parameters, were successfully tested for the evaluation of the performance of all mechanical coffee dryers existing in Colombia. The results obtained by means of simulation for each one of the dryers were compared with the experimental results obtained in Cenicafé, resulting in the conclusion that these suitably predict the drying of the coffee parchment. Based on the good results obtained, a unique simulation program was implemented for drying parchment coffee.
