Synopsis

Industrial development artificial mechanical drying came into practice. This process is energy intensive and expensive. It increases product cost. The efforts to enhance sun drying have led to solar drying. Solar dryers control the drying process. Also protect agricultural foods from damage by insect pests dust and rain. The solar drying system utilizes solar power to heat up air and to dry any food substance. This is useful in reducing wastage of agricultural product and helps in preservation of agricultural product. The restrictions of the natural sun drying exposure to direct sunlight, liability to pests and rodents lack of proper monitoring. The intensify cost of the mechanical dryer a solar is developed to cater for this disadvantage. In the dryer, the heated air from a separate solar dish is skilled a grain bed, and at an equivalent time, the drying cabinet absorbs solar power directly through the transparent walls and roof.
