The solar drying system utilizes solar energy to heat up air and to dry any food substance or other product loaded, which is beneficial in reducing wastage of agricultural product or any other product and helps in preservation of the product. Based on the limitations of the natural sun drying e.g. exposure to direct sunlight, liability to pests and rodents lack of proper monitoring, and the escalated cost of the mechanical dryer, a solar dryer is therefore developed to cater for this limitation.

Solar Tunnel Dryer is one of the Chipset forms of solar dryer and it is one of best efficiency due to Direct Conduction Heating, and Solar Radiation Heating. And can be used for small drying capacity of around 10 kg per day to 500 kg per day. Ideal For Drying Ginger, Garlic, kassava, Carrot, Jackfruit etc.

A major section of the Food processing industry deals with drying of agricultural products for better preservation, long term storage, gaining higher profit on product after season is over from exports.

In India, a large portion of the drying is still done by drying the product out in the sun. This not only takes a lot of time - usually in days, but is also very unhygienic because of possible contamination, growth of fungus and also the dried product becomes under dried or over dried, which reduces product value and resulting in monetary losses.

A more effective way is the use of Solar Dryers, they increase moisture removal rate and reduce chances of contamination and fungus. The use of Solar Dryers reducing your drying time allows you to increase your production level in quantity & quality and retains its original test and odor.

For high production capacities, however, it is best to opt for bio mass fired dryers, as solar dryers require a lot of space. These biomass fired dryers reduce the drying time dramatically and thus allows high production rates. These are not standard dryers and need to be custom built according to your requirement, which is usually based on the moisture content in the product to be dried, moisture removal rate required, total production per day etc.

Fortunately TSSPL offers both solutions for people in the Food Processing Industry - Design, Manufacture and Installation of Solar Dryers as well as Biomass or Gas fired dryers. TSSPL has successfully offered custom built drying solutions for a wide variety of products like drying of tomatoes, onions, chilies etc. and even other articles like handmade paper, in ceramic industry, leather industry and dying industries etc.

Traditionally Fish drying has been carried out by drying in open sun. This usually takes about 5-10 days depending on the type of fish. Besides it takes a long time it also, causes contamination by dust and other pollutants and is unhygienic, also causes a lot of odor.

TSSPL has here again come to the rescue of poor fishermen and fisheries industries by designing a customized solar dryer for fish and seafood drying. It not only dry the fish in 6 to 10 hours it retains fish hygienic, avoids risk of contamination with dust particles and harmful contaminants and keeps it free from bird and rat droppings etc. Also use of solar dryer gives fishermen handsome profits as the solar dried fish is not only very clean, but also can be stored for a longer time and has a better product value than normally dried fish.

Solar Cabinet dryer is apparently a hot box where wide range of products can be dried. It consist of a rectangle box insulated at base and covered with double layered transparent roof possibly a toughen glass. For ventilation holes are provided at the base of box to circulate the fresh air. The outlet is provided at the side and rear panel of the box. The box can be of M.S. or wood as per requirement and for higher efficiency inside rear panel can be covered through Aluminum sheet or foil or any other reflective material.

As the temperature in the box increases, hot air passes out of upper aperture by natural draft creating a partial vacuum and inducing fresh air up through bottom resulting constant perceptible flow of air over the drying product placed on perforated trays to facilitate air circulation. The hot air gradually removes the moisture content of the product.

Wide applications in food, herbs and spices.
