Abstract
One of the factors that influence the quality of the results of cocoa drying using a box dryer is the temperature distribution in the Planum. This study aims to study the distribution pattern of Planum temperature in cocoa box dryers. The study was conducted on a cocoa box dryer with a hot air suction system in Sidorejo village, Sekampung Udik sub-district, East Lampung. The parameters measured are temperatures at several points in the Planum space. Temperature measurements are carried out periodically during the cocoa drying period. The results showed that temperature distribution in the Planum room was quite evenly distributed with the average temperature during the cocoa drying period (12 hours) of (75.01 ± 1.85) °C. Drying temperature in drying chamber is (60.01±3.92)°C and moisture content of Cocoa is (8.06 ± 0.65 )%
