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.
