Solar -biomass hybrid drying system |
• Indirect type drying – retain nutrients and color in dried product as no direct sunlight (UV) exposure • Forced flow of air and “direct contact with product” for faster drying • Suitable for drying all perishable product • Scalable to desired capacity based on material to be dried • Environment friendly green technology • After integration with biomass combustion or biogas fired air heater can be operated continuously for 24 hrs. |
