Drying Fruits & Vegetables

The dryer runs purely on #biogas. A burner is placed at the bottom that dissipates heat necessary for drying the farm produce. The heat dehydrates the fruits & vegetables from its moisture thereby increasing its shelf life and eliminating:

• Post-harvest losses
• Increases fruits & vegetables shelf-life
• Increased Value addition (dried fruits & vegetables fetch more income)

These simple dryers provide farmers with a means to preserving food during a bumper harvest and selling it in times of scarcity.

Suitable Produce

Fruits such as mangoes, pawpaw, pineapples, bananas, tomatoes and vegetables such as kales, spinach, mushroom & spices can be dried in this way. Farmers can sell the produce at higher prices when they are scarce. This prevents wastage of perishable goods on the farm. The dried fruits make great snacks and have amazing benefits you should definitely know about.
