The process of removing moisture from vegetable agricultural raw materials is a diverse, but energy-consuming stage of production, regardless of the applied methods and methods of drying. For forecasting energy consumption and designing drying equipment, analysis and generalization of the kinetics and dynamics of drying of plant raw materials is an urgent task.
Based on the results of the conducted research, the technological and constructive-technological scheme of the convective belt dryer for the fractional processing of leguminous herbs was theoretically justified. The dryer is made in the form of a chamber with horizontal belt conveyors, in the middle of which there are heaters with heated steam, and in the upper part of the chamber there are centrifugal fans.
With the help of the Simcenter STAR-CCM+ software package, a simulation of the technological process of drying in the developed dryer was carried out. Visualizations of the particle flow velocity distribution of products of fractional processing of legumes and air flow in the area of the convective belt dryer in the form of scalar and vector data were obtained. The temperature distribution of the air flow in the area of the convective belt dryer was also determined in a scalar form, which made it possible to detect its influence on the temperature of the alfalfa particles moving along the belt conveyors.
The obtained results of numerical modeling confirmed the analytical calculations. However, for a more complete evaluation and optimization of dryer parameters, it is recommended to conduct additional experimental studies of the drying process of products of fractional processing of leguminous herbs and empirically check the rational structural and technological parameters of the convective belt dryer.

Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC is a scholarly professional journal with a long-standing history and stable academic tradition, reflecting the evolution of engineering and technical sciences within the agro-industrial sector of Ukraine.
The journal was founded in 1997 under the title Bulletin of Vinnytsia State Agricultural Institute. According to the Resolution of the Presidium of the Higher Attestation Commission of Ukraine dated September 11, 1997, the publication obtained the status of a professional scientific journal, which enabled the publication of the main results of doctoral and candidate dissertations in technical sciences. From its inception, the journal positioned itself as an academic platform for addressing current issues of mechanization, electrification, and technical support of agricultural production. During 2001–2014, the journal was published under the title Proceedings of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University. Series: Technical Sciences (State Registration Certificate of Print Media KV No. 16644-5116 PR dated April 30, 2010). Throughout this period, a systematic approach to the selection and peer review of scientific manuscripts was established, the thematic scope of publications was expanded, and continuity of scientific directions as well as the development of sectoral engineering schools was ensured. Since 2015, the journal has been published under its current title, Technology, energy, agriculture transport AIC (State Registration Certificate No. 21906-11806 R dated March 12, 2016). The change of title reflected the expansion of the journal’s thematic coverage and its orientation toward interdisciplinary research in mechanical engineering, energy systems, electrical engineering, transport technologies, automation, and digital solutions for the agro-industrial complex.
