The dryers hold different volumes based on the materials being dried. 1kg of mango takes up a lot less space than 1 kgs of leaves. Measure the weight of product over an area of 900mm x 600mm (tray size). We will then calculate the number of trays you need to fill to dry a certain amount of product.
Example: I want to dry 100kgs of mango per batch.
Approx. 5kgs of mango fits on an area of 900mm x 600mm. 1 tray = 5kgs. 100kgs divided by 5kgs = 20 trays.
Dryer with 20 trays: AD100 Agri-Dryer (Electric) or AD100 Agri-Dryer (Solar)
Example: I want to dry 20000kgs of chillies per month.
Approx. 2,5kgs of birdseye chillies fit on an area of 900mm x 600mm. 1 tray = 2,5kgs. 20000kgs divided by 22 days in a month = 909kgs per day. 90kgs divided by 2,5kgs = 364 trays.
Dryer options:
CD1500 Container Dryer (Electric, Gas, Solar, Biomass), AD1500 Agri-Dryer (Electric, Gas, Solar, Biomass), AD2500 Agri-Dryer (Electric, Gas, Solar, Biomass), Custom Unit or a combination of smaller units.
