The main products are food processing equipment, wood processing equipment, agricultural equipment, packaging machinery, etc. Our equipment has been widely praised in the domestic and foreign markets.
This paper presents the design and construction of a solar dryer for drying a agriculture product. The dryer is composed of solar collector (air heater) with the baffles and a solar drying chamber containing rack of four net trays both being assimilated together. The air allowed in through air inlet is heated up in the solar collector chamber and channeled through the drying chamber where it ...

The angle of tilt (β) of the solar collector is given by the formula below: β = 100 + lat ф (Alamu,2010) where lat ф is the latitude of the collector location, the latitude of Abeokuta where the dryer was designed is latitude 7.11°N. Hence, the suitable value of β use for the collector: β = 10° + 7.11° = l7.11° 3.

Solar Dryer Design Considerations: A solar dryer was design based on the produceure described by Ampratwum (1998) for drying dates (a cabinet type) and procedure described by Basunia and Abe (2001) for drying rough rice (natural convection a mixed-mode type). The size of the dryer was determined based on preliminary investigation which was found to be 2.6kg per m2 (tray loading). The sample ...

In addition, the forced convection dryer is less dependent on solar energy as it provides the air flow itself; this allows the design to work in weather conditions in which the natural convection dryer doesn't work. As inadequate ventilation is a primary cause of loss of food in solar food dryers, and is made worse by intermittent heating, it is essential to realize proper ventilation. Adding ...

solar dryer improves upon the traditional open-air sun system in five important ways (Sharma et al., 2009): x It is faster. Matetrials can be dried in a shorter period of time. Solar dryers enhance drying times in two ways. Firstly, the translucent, or transparent, glazing over the collection area traps heat inside the dryer, raising the temperature of the air. Secondly, the flexibility of ...

Solar dryer has the limitation that it can be used only during daytime and the drying process has to be continued next day which leads to inferior product and limits production (Madhlopa and Ngwalo, 2007). To get better quality product, it is necessary to provide solar dryer with any form of back-up heating. These limitations led to the development of hybrid dryer wherein, the solar energy and ...
