    I am a horticulture student in Tanzania, and I like this project, and I promise to give it a try!! It will be of great help, in our societies! Now we are experiencing 60%+ of postharvest losses! In our country! And this will help us reduce the number! Also will help farmers to increase value of their produce (value chain).. This is actually a great project for us Africa

    This is by far one of the most simplest sun dryer i came across on the internet. Great job on making the design simple and inexpensive. It seems really interesting, i am surely going to give it a try.

      Thank you, it was mainly made for drying Artemisia annua leaves (against malaria) and Moringa leaves. Works good also for some fruits, even tomatos, provided dry and warm climate.

    was looking different models and this one is certainly the easiest to construct. I live in a small town in Indonesia but all these materials are just available in de local hardware shop (and cheap as well). The dryer is also light So it can be turned towards the sun. Thanks! I'm going to build one.

      Hi Herman,
      I wish you good success. If you need some more construction details, like measurements, list of materials, general information, etc. I could send to you by mail. Our construction was for student's use and some important features (like a chimney for better airflow, protection from insects, e.g.) were not included. Feel free to write me.

      I wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy, most of all a healthy New Year.

      (AU J.T.) in 2008 by scientists from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Agriculture
      Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria.
      Additional sources for blueprints you'll find in an FAO paper "dryer “Food and vegetable processing” by Mircea Enachescu Dauthy, FAO Agricultural Service Bulletin No. 119, Chaper 5.2.8.1.

    I would like to know what is inside the solar collector, under the glass cover. I read the article Evaluating the Performance of a Mixed Mode Solar Dryer and it mentions that the heat absorber was constructed of a 2mm thick aluminum plate painted black. I want to know what you used as an absorber? What can i use?

      It is a inexpensive nondiscript plastic sheet that was available at the market of the small city Bor in South Sudan. It lasted just one year. The situation forced to use the cheapest material available - and timber (e.g. plywood) was out of question.

    • @ManfredTaege
      @ManfredTaege  4 роки тому +2

      It depends of what materials you use. Metal was highly expensive (about 120 US $) and I used it only because I needed the dryer immediately after my return to South Sudan for educational purposes and did not waste time to search for cheaper, locally available materials. I bought only the black plastic cover material in SS. It fell apart after one season (not UV resistant); better use wood, plywood or metal sheets.

  • @samugote
    @samugote 5 років тому +1

    It is a university. The metals have to be measured and pre-cut in Getmsny. They are then exported to the Africans.
    Someone wants the measurements from another African country.
    Another the blue print from the obviously complicated technology. Whoever bewitched Africa did plenty of press-ups.
    Another is about to ask which direction one turns to lock the nuts. God have mercy on Africa.

    • @ManfredTaege
      @ManfredTaege  5 років тому +7

      The design comes from Africa (Nigeria). The reason for constructing it with materials from Germany in Germany and transporting it to Africa was just to demonstrate the way it works during my short stay in South Sudan. I wanted my students to start immediately with some work in their B.Sc. research using the dryer. My time was too short to bulid it there, finding and procuring the materials suitable and locally available. FAO has a construction manual how to make one with bamboo sticks.
