Cissus quadrangularis is a herb of Thailand. It used for many ailments, especially for the treatment of hemorrhoid. This article proposes the designing and construction of the cissus quadrangularis dryer for herbal medicines production. The dryer consists of 4 parts: drying cabinet, infrared heater, motor and blower. In the drying cabinet contains 4 paddles stirrer to stir the herbs for the good heat transfer and ventilation. The suitable drying condition was found by drying at different drying temperature (60°C , 75°C and 90°C) with varying 3 different round speed of paddles stirrer (15 rpm, 25 rpm and 35 rpm). The testing result showed that the suitable drying condition of this dryer occurred in 25 rpm of the paddles stirrer round speed and 90 ˚C of drying temperature which provided the best product’s quality comparing for color, productivity and energy consumption of product.
