    In this project, prior to carrying out the drying process, the necessary fundamentals for compacting the sawdust and drying it were investigated. Identifying the variables such as: the initial humidity, the final humidity, the heat necessary to dry the sawdust, the time and the efficient power of the incandescent lamps. For the study, two types of specimens of different configuration were manufactured, a flat plate and a cylindrical one. For the compaction of the biomass, the homogenization with binder was carried out, in this case white glue to obtain an adequate compaction, when obtaining the specimens it was verified that they all have the same weight 1.88 gr for the flat plate specimen and 1.30 gr For the cylindrical specimen, the initial humidity was 51.60 percent and 30 percent respectively, after drying, it was possible to remove the existing moisture in the specimens, obtaining weights of 0.91 gr for the two configurations, with times of 18 minutes for the flat plate specimen and 24 minutes for the cylindrical specimen. The heat fluxes necessary to dry the specimens were 3529.195 Joule for the flat plate specimen and 2023.399 Joule for the cylindrical specimen and the required power was 3,268Watt and 1,405Watt respectively. Finally, the temperature distribution analysis was carried out by means of a CFD analysis, which shows that after 9 of the prototype of the dryer is in operation, the desired temperature of 65 degrees Celsius is obtained.
