Natural solar dryers are approximately between KES 100,000-KES 200,000 for small sizes and KES 750,000 – KES 1,000,000 for large sizes.

Natural Solar Dryers in Kenya: Affordable Approach for Preservation

Our Natural solar dryers in Kenya expose the agricultural products to direct but controlled heat from the sun. The sunlight penetrates through the light diffusing greenhouse polythene cover that covers the greenhouse structure.
Vegetables and fruits such as tomato, capsicum, leafy greens, kales, and meat need preservation as they are perishable. Farmers in Kenya experience 30 % loss on their harvest because of insufficient and ineffective drying conditions.

Why Solar Dryers are Essential for Every Grower

Natural Solar dryers use solar energy to dry food products, limiting humidity which often cause fungal infections. Traditional open drying on the sun seems cheaper but has proven to be very ineffective and prone to losses. First, it may cause crop contamination because your products are in contact with dust, insects, bacteria and soil.
Additionally, it subjects dried products to inconsistent hot and humid conditions which slows down the drying process and leads to fermented taste of produce.
Natural solar dryers are designed to completely prevent humid conditions and thus improving taste, drying duration and efficiency.

Natural Dryers for Rural Farmers

Solar dryers are ideal for both small scale and large-scale growers, especially those based in rural areas. Rural based farmers face challenges such as lack of electricity access, poor access to the markets thus more likely for their products to go bad. Natural Solar dryers can help them preserve their products at zero expenses as they look for markets.

Commercial Dryers in Kenya

Natural solar dryers are designed to hold higher capacity for drying of harvests in large farms and preservation facilities. We design commercial solar dryers including coffee dryers, tea, and  pyrethrum.

Affordable Solar Dryers in Kenya

Aqua Hubs’ Natural Solar dryers are crop drying structures built using affordable materials in Kenya. We construct our dryers using galvanized steel frames and greenhouse polythene materials.
Use of strong steel frames and UV treated polythene materials ensure the dryer serves you for quite a while without experiencing damage.

Choose Quality and Expertise

Obtaining quality, dry and desired taste of harvested vegetables, cereals, peppers, coffee, tea or other products is made possible with solar dryers. Natural Solar dryers are cutting down the general cost of preservation as they use free solar energy to remove moisture from crop products.
If you are looking to obtain economical drying structures, avoid electric dryers as they are expensive to run. Instead, use natural solar dryers from Aqua Hub Ltd to preserve your crops.

Food Dryer Working Principle

Natural solar dryers operate through natural convection, possible when air gets heated, circulated to remove moisture in the drying chamber. To remove the moisture, exhaust fans are built on the roof, where air exits the dryer.
Solar dryers can be designed for home food preservation, agricultural community initiatives, institutions, and processing industries.

Solar Dryers Cost Projection

A natural solar dryer varies from in size depending on the quantity of harvest and drying needs of the client. Our popular solar dryer sizes are 8 x15 m, 8 x 24m, 8 x30m and 16 x 24 m.

Benefits of Solar Dryers

Natural Solar dryers offer numerous advantages in drying of Agri-products

1. Reduced Post-Harvest Losses – Solar dryers provide a clean and controlled drying environment, significantly reducing losses.
2. Improved Product Quality – optimal drying conditions maintain nutrients and prevent contamination thus high quality and better prices of products
3. Increased Income – promotes long term preservation of produce for high price sales during off-seasons.
4. Time and Labor Efficiency – natural dryers are faster and less labor-intensive than traditional methods. It takes 2-3 days for crops to dry.
5. Environmental Sustainability – depends on renewable solar energy rather than fossil fuel. Lower carbon is released to the environment.
6. Economical drying – natural solar dryers are cheaper
7. Natural dryers rely on renewable energy, reducing dependence on firewood or fossil fuels. This contributes to environmental conservation by minimizing deforestation and carbon emissions.
