In order to improve the loading efficiency in bulk dryer for the flue-cured tobacco leaves, a new hanger device was developed. It consists of two layers frame, in which large volume of the harvested leaves could be simply loaded. As the results of experiments with new hanger device, labor hours for loading could be saved by 34 % as compared with those in conventional 3 layers hanger, and loading capacity increased by 36%. The weight of hanger could be also reduced by 0.6kg compared to conventional 3.4kg, showing possibility of cost reduction for the developed hanger device with saved number of punching the rolled steel panels.
