The 10 kg Solar–Electrical Hybrid Dryer offers a controlled, hygienic alternative to traditional open-sun drying. While it primarily utilizes solar energy, an integrated electrical backup ensures uninterrupted operation during low light or high humidity. Built with a thermally insulated chamber and food-grade stainless steel trays, the system employs forced convection to guarantee uniform heat and moisture transfer. This energy-efficient design significantly accelerates drying times, enhances product quality, and extends shelf life, making it a sustainable and economically viable solution for small-scale processors.
