Collaborative project: Development of a novel digitally controlled drying process for agricultural products, based on humidity and product quality (InnoBand) – Subproject 2

Project


Project code: 2815403010
Contract period: 01.02.2012 - 31.03.2014
Budget: 170,309 Euro
Purpose of research: Experimental development

The project goal is to provide a belt dryer for small capacities using a novel data acquisition and process control system using control of product quality to efficiently and continuously produce high quality agricultural products. The belt dryer is mobile and can be used for a multitude of products. The new technology is expected to improve product quality, to shorten the drying time and thus to save energy. Due to the low acquisition costs and high flexibility it will also be affordable for producers in developing countries which will help them to enhance their sales opportunities because of the improved product quality.
