Dryer Room

Dryer Room is a closed, sun-heated drying structure built on a galvanized iron frame and covered with UV stabilized polyfilm. Sunlight passing through the film warms the air inside, and controlled vents carry the moist air out — so harvested produce dries faster, more evenly and away from dust, rain, birds and insects. It works as a solar dryer for vegetables, spices and fish, and as a raisin (bedana) shed for grape growers.

Key Features

• Galvanized iron frame that resists rust in a warm, humid drying space

• UV stabilized polyfilm cover that traps solar heat inside the room

• Roof and side vents to let moist air escape and keep air moving

• Drying racks, trays or hanging lines planned to suit the crop

• Insect net on openings to keep flies and pests off the produce

• Raised or paved floor option for cleaner handling

• Exhaust fans can be added where faster air flow is needed

• Built in any length and width to match the daily drying load

Benefits of a Dryer Room

• Faster and more uniform drying than open sun drying on the ground

• Clean, hygienic produce free from dust, soil, bird droppings and insects

• Protection from sudden rain, so a drying batch is not lost to weather

• Better colour, aroma and market grade of the dried product

• Less post-harvest loss and less spoilage from fungus

• Free solar heat — little or no fuel or electricity cost

• Less labour for spreading, covering and turning produce

• Lets farmers store and sell dried produce later for a better rate

Suitable Produce

A Dryer Room is commonly used for drying:

• Grapes into Raisins (Bedana / Kishmish)

• Red Chilli

• Turmeric and Ginger

• Onion and Garlic flakes

• Moringa, Curry Leaves and Other Herbs

• Fruits such as Mango, Banana, Fig and Amla

• Fish and Seafood

• Seeds and Grains before storage

Drying time and method depend on the produce, its moisture content, the weather and the quality the market expects.

Dryer Room Structure

A typical Dryer Room consists of:

Sr. No.	Component
1	GI foundation and columns
2	GI arches, purlins and bracing
3	UV stabilized polyfilm roof and side covering
4	Profile and zig-zag spring for film locking
5	Roof / side ventilation openings
6	Insect net on vents and openings
7	Drying racks, trays or hanging wires
8	Entry door
9	Exhaust fans (optional)
10	Required dryer room accessories and fixtures

Dryer Room Design

A Dryer Room should be designed after considering:

• Type of produce and how it must be dried (spread, trays or hanging)

• Quantity to be dried per batch

• Sunlight hours and humidity at the site

• Wind speed in the region

• Available land and its direction to the sun

• Loading and unloading access for labour and vehicles

• Project budget

Getting the ventilation, direction and rack layout right for the crop is what makes a dryer room dry evenly batch after batch.

Dryer Room Cost

The cost of a Dryer Room depends on its size, frame height, pipe and film quality, the number and type of racks or trays, ventilation and fan requirement, flooring and site conditions.
