Why we make the portable solar dryer?
Back to 2019, one day, George in Ghana messaged me ” Linda, I see you make all variety of fruit peeling and slicing machine, do you also make dryer for pineapple slices?”
“Yes, we do have cooperated factory which make dryers, such belt dryer, drying house, dry box, dry cart and etc…” I answered without a pause.
” No, No, No., Linda. I didn’t mean the normal electrical dryer, I mean solar dryer. You know, the normal electrical or air pump dryer are good, but we don’ t have reliable power supply as China,so it’s not suitable for us. If natural dry, there would be dust, insect , or sometimes bad weather unpredictable. I’m wondering if there is some type of solar dryer, which utilize the sun power, no need electricity. Then the sun would be the limitless supply of clean energy, no need to worry about power failure…”
“Wow, your idea sounds great, let me check if we can make it happen.” Located in china, which owned the top manufacturers of solar panels all over the world, I do have confidence in the capability of connecting solar power with fruit drying.
At the end of 2020, China’s total installed photovoltaic capacity was 253 GW, accounting for one-third of the world’s total installed photovoltaic capacity (760.4 GW). China do have rich experience in making solar power.
So how to make the portable solar dryer? What’s key issues?
1. Must be economic.
2. Easy to use.
3. Easy to maintain.
Worked with R&D team of china southern University of Technology and engineers from solar industry, the final solution of portable solar dryer came out. By 15years solar product making manufacturer, the portable dryer is made ready. The working theory is to collect the solar power by solar panel, then using special material inside to increase the temperature to 30-90 degree to dry fruits and coffee fruits and all kinds of grains.
It’s big box or cabinet, coated with Insulation Materials outside. As for the inside, not only layered with Black chrome magnets which can can absorb heat to heat up, but also installed with 12v DC fan, which drove by 50 watt photovoltaic panel outside. So the working temperature range from 30-90 degree,controlled by intelligent thermostat.
How does the portable solar dryer work?what can the solar dryer be used for?
The bway portable solar dryer a new type of solar collector suitable for rural areas and small business owners. It’s temperature can be controlled by intelligent thermostat. For 50 watt photovoltaic panel driving 12v DC fan, the working temperature range from 30-90 degree.
It can be widely used for fruits( pineapple, mango), grain, corn, Tabaco, Almonds, Herbal medicines, Fish and etc. Capacity could be 10-150kg per day. In this way, it’s possible to avoid the dryness f open air and the external dust and rain. So it can improve the drying speed and quality, and gain better color.
It’s a green products which economically adapted to construction of new countryside and a great alternative for small coal stove, fireplace and other polluted energy sources.
What is the Feature and Benefit of the solar dryer?
- Easy to move with casters/wheels.
- The temperature is adjustable to meet the drying requirements of different fruits and seeds.
- No consuming part, using life can be 25years.
