Description
Solar dryers for agricultural products are built from UV treated greenhouse polythene sheets (200 microns in thickness) which absorb and retain solar energy that is later utilized to dry perishable crops like fruits or vegetables. And the best thing is that the crops retain their nutrients and natural tastes, unlike using the laborious natural and open-air method.
The solar dryer working principle (absorbing solar energy) is quite efficient as it dries fruits and vegetables fast compared to drying in the open. For example, if your crops take seven days in the open, you can cut down the time to two days when utilizing a solar dryer.
Our solar dryers have brick floors, perfect for absorbing heat that adds more heat to the structure, making the drying process even faster.
Since the vegetable solar dryer hastens the post-harvest practice of drying, there is less risk of spoilage. Also, the sealed structure prevents contamination.
The Hybrid solar dryer design combines natural and artificial heat transfer systems, meaning you can dry your crops even when there is no sunshine. In addition, the fans help remove excess heat from the structure, assuring you that your vegetable and fruits will have the desired moisture content at the end of the drying process.
Main features:
- Easy to erect; putting up the solar dryer doesn’t demand much expertise.
- Free power consumption: the solar dryer utilizes the energy from the sun to dry food and crops
- Fan system for removal of excess heat on the hybrid solar dryer.
- A solar system with batteries to store heat.
