We focused on providing solutions to SME’s by adopting and promotion of affordable effective and efficiency tested technologies in products value additions, post-harvest handlings, irrigation technologies, Grinovate deal with assembling, training and distribution of tested technologies in Africa.
The affordable and efficiency new age clean solar dehydration technology which can be done by using local available materials wood, Polycarbonate sheet, metal bars, it sustainably enable small and medium sized enterprises to dry, store and sell their products such as fruits, vegetables, aromatic herbs, fish, meat and other food stuffs. The technology will reduce post-harvest loss and increase shelf life to the dried and processed products, through effectively leveraging clean technology. Consumers can access to dehydrated food products round the year will strengthen household’s food security resulting in positive nutritional outcomes and significantly contribute to the economy of small scale enterprises.
The technology provides several socio-economic benefits. One of the main issues facing developing countries today is the issue of food security, The solar food dryer can improve food security through allowing the longer storage of food after drying compared to food that hasn't been dried.
The combination of both Photovoltaic solar energy and gas heating energy increases the efficiency and drying time even on the day with no direct sunshine Electricity used to generate power to run Circulating Fans and Digital displays for temperatures in the drying chamber is stepped down from 240 volts to Direct Current system used on vehicles of 12 Volts and 24 Volts, using very minimum electricity during running machine.
It is the tunnel type covered by Polycarbonate plastic sheet, and structure made by galvanized metals, the shelf can be stainless steel or framed net, it size depend on volumes of products to be dried at once.
This is charcoal efficiency backing stove made by galvanized sheet with heat insulation layer and trays, can be used for products value additions like backing, grilling of various products.
It is the modern and classic designed mobile fruits cart with 20 display trays, draining water system solar powered lights and also can be connected to the grid electricity, it is used to showcase fruits, herbs, spices and fresh juice to the consumers, and can be easily transferred to the big events, exhibitions, concerts or any location around the city.
