The GrainPro® Bubble Dryer™ is a tunnel-type dryer designed to dry agricultural commodities while protecting them against sudden rains and unpredictable weather. Using heated air, the commodities’ moisture content is vaporized and pushed out by ventilators through an exhaust port.
Using this solution, commodities can be dried at an average rate of 0.5% moisture content per hour (based on paddy and corn). However, with optimal conditions of high atmospheric temperatures, drying time is about 6 to 8 hours at a moisture content of 22% to 14%.
The GrainPro® Bubble Dryer™ is a tunnel-type drying system powered by solar energy or electricity, operating by balancing ambient relative humidity and the moisture content of the commodities being dried.
This multi-commodity dryer is composed of a transparent, UV-resistant polyethylene top cover and a black reinforced PVC drying floor, both connected by a heavy-duty zipper. Solar radiation enters the drying chamber through the transparent top cover and heats up the agricultural commodity inside. Moisture will be vaporized and pushed out of the chamber by its ventilators. A rake mixer is also included and usable in all types of terrain, and optionally, a tube mixer that provides undulating motion during mixing operations.
FEATURES
Faster drying time during fully sunny conditions over conventional sun drying
Installable on any flat surface, a multi-commodity dryer
Portable and easy to relocate
A cheaper option/solution relative to existing mechanical dryers
Protects commodities during drying to prevent post-harvest losses
Also provides protection from birds, fowls, and other animals
Prevents spillage & contamination with hazardous materials
The GrainPro® Bubble Dryer™ has two models: Solar, which operates with solar energy; and Electric, which operates with electricity.
ADD-ONS
Bubble Dryer Bed ™
This portable, inflatable dryer bed works perfectly with the GrainPro® Bubble Dryer™. It allows high-moisture commodities to be dried at a faster rate. This is possible through the additional airflow created due to the elevated bottom of the bed. It is made of UV-resistant PE mesh supported by pressurized PU tubes.
