Explore the innovative features of our Eco Flash Dryer
Maintains optimal drying temperature for premium quality flour
Processes 1,200kg fresh roots to 300kg/hour
Monitor drying process remotely via mobile app
From fresh cassava harvest to premium dried product in 6-8 hours
Harvest: Dig up mature cassava roots (10-12 months after planting).
Peel: Remove outer brown skin. Keep cassava peels aside for biomass fuel.
Wash & Chip: Clean roots thoroughly and cut into uniform chips (5-10mm thick).
Time Required: 1-2 hours for 100kg fresh roots
Arrange trays: Spread cassava chips evenly across drying trays in single layers.
Stack properly: Insert trays into the dryer chamber, ensuring adequate spacing for airflow.
Capacity: Standard load is 1,200kg fresh cassava (yields ~300kg dried).
Time Required: 30-45 minutes
Auto-start: Solar panels automatically begin generating power when dryer is activated.
Heat generation: Solar energy powers heating elements that warm air to 60-80°C.
Biomass backup: If cloudy, cassava peel biomass heater kicks in automatically.
Zero Fuel Cost • Weather-Independent Operation
Hot air circulation: Fans circulate heated air uniformly across all cassava chips.
Moisture removal: Controlled temperature rapidly evaporates water while preserving nutrients.
IoT monitoring: Track temperature, humidity, and progress via smartphone app.
Time Required: 6-8 hours (80% faster than sun drying)
Quality check: Dried cassava should be crisp, white/cream colored, with <12% moisture.
Cool down: Let chips cool to room temperature before packaging.
Storage: Pack in moisture-proof bags. Properly dried cassava stores for 6-12 months.
Premium Quality • Long Shelf Life • Ready for Market

Common questions about operating the Eco Flash Dryer
One standard batch is 1,200kg fresh cassava, drying to ~300kg in 6-8 hours. You can run 1-2 batches per day depending on sunlight, giving you 300-600kg dried cassava daily capacity.
The dryer automatically switches to biomass heating using cassava peels. You simply load the peels into the biomass chamber, and the system maintains the same drying temperature and speed. No interruption to your operations.
No extensive training needed. The dryer is designed for simplicity. We provide a 2-hour demonstration covering: loading cassava, starting the system, monitoring via app, and unloading. Most farmers are confident operating it after the first batch.
Minimal maintenance: (1) Clean trays after each use, (2) Wipe solar panels monthly, (3) Empty biomass ash weekly, (4) Annual professional inspection (included in warranty). Total maintenance time: ~30 minutes per week.
Yes! The dryer works for many crops including maize, fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Adjustable temperature settings accommodate different drying requirements. Cassava is optimized for, but versatility adds income diversification opportunities.
