Solar Jackfruit Dryer

Product Description

Solar Jackfruit Dryer by Rudra Solar Energy is an enclosed solar drying solution designed for hygienic and controlled drying of jackfruit and suitable jackfruit-based food products. It is suitable for farmers, FPOs, SHGs, food-processing units, MSMEs, entrepreneurs, cooperatives and commercial processors looking to convert seasonal jackfruit into value-added products with improved storage and processing potential.

Unlike traditional open-sun drying, the enclosed solar drying chamber helps protect jackfruit from dust, insects, birds, rain and environmental contamination. Multi-tray loading and controlled airflow provide a more organised drying environment for prepared jackfruit pieces.
