David Hollestelle, director of IP&D Experts designed the Solar Drying System (SDS) when he was on a mission in Peru as an expert senior consultant for the dutch department of Foreign Affairs.
David Hollestelle: "The Solar Drying System is indispensable for local farmers who want to get more out of their product. It ensures that they can dry fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices in a hygienic way. No longer outside on the ground, but inside in drying cabinets. Besides that the food retains its color and processing time is shorter and less labor intensive."
WE OFFER YOU A SIMPLE, HYGIENIC SOLAR DRYER FOR DRYING FRUIT, VEGETABLES, HERBS AND SPICES
BUILD YOUR OWN SOLAR DRYING SYSTEM
In contrast to sun drying, where the food is exposed directly to the sun, the Solar Drying System uses indirect solar radiation.
The principle of the Solar Drying System is to collect solar energy by heating-up the air volume in solar collectors and conduct the hot air from the collector to an attached greenhouse. Here the products to be dried are laid out in drying cabinets: wooden boxes with screens in it.
The warm air – generated by the solar collector – enters the greenhouse at the top and flows up and down through the screened frames. Because of the hot air dehydration takes place. The drying process takes approximately 8 hours. The result is hygienically dried, high-quality food.
​
The Solar Drying System is a simple, hygienic drier which you can make yourself with local building materials like wood of bamboo. The size of the Solar Drying System is easy scalable. It is built in all identical sections. So you can enlarge of downsize it to your drying needs.
