== The Anagi dryer == This semi-continuous dryer developed by Practical Action South Asia (previously known as ITSri Lanka) uses biomass (rice husk) as a source of heat and does not require electricity. Tray lifting is by a mechanical car jack under the cabinet. Contamination of the product is avoided by use of a heat exchanger. As the dryer depends on natural convection of air (rather than fans) its capacity is lower than the powered dryers. Its capital and running costs are however very low. {| | Construction: | Timber walls over angle iron frame |- | Dimensions: | 4ft x 2ft 8" x 7ft |- | Throughput: | 70-80 kg cashew nuts/day |- | No of trays: | 6 |- | Fuel: | saw dust or rice husk |- | Fuel consumption: | 30 kg/day |} See the Anagi Tray Dryer Technical Brief for further details.
