To allow this to happen the dryer must be:

Extremely efficient and self-sufficient

• Self-sufficient in the production of heat thanks to adjustable solar thermal panels, which make the most of solar radiation
• Electrically self-sufficient thanks to a rechargeable battery pack, designed to power all the electronics and part of the electrical components, and a generator that is activated by the control system only when there is the real request for intervention of components with higher operating voltage.
• A sophisticated ventilation system allows a homogeneous drying of the whole product.

Easily transportable.

• The drying room and the technical room are built inside a container that can be transported on a trailer by means of a tractor unit directly on the collection field. The trailer can be unhooked and left in place until all drying cycles have been completed.
• In case of long distances the container can also travel by ship. In this case the entire solar thermal apparatus can be easily unhooked and stored inside the drying room. Once arrived at the destination it is sufficient to reposition the solar panels on the container and reconnect them to the plant.

In conclusion, the characteristics of this dryer allow direct use in the field with the consequent benefits on the quality of the dried product and its market value. The energy resources used to carry out the drying cycles mainly come from recyclable sources, allowing reduction of operating costs to a minimum.
