Construction of a solar drying plant

Preparation

: prepared drying area

To build a solar drying plant the underground has to be frost-proof.

The underground of the drying area can be carried out with asphalt like a street, or with a bottom of concrete

Side walls

: Versetzen der Betonfertigteile

The side walls which bound the drying area are often constructed with pre-cast concrete segments. These "L"-concrete stones combine several functions:

sidewise boundary of the drying area
foundation of the drying hall
running surface for the rotating drum

Drying hall

: Steel construction

The galvanized steel construction of the drying hall has to be fixed at the pre-cast concrete segments. Different transparent roofings can be used:

ETFE foil; high transparent and UV resistant
Glass
PE-foil as double-foil
Burling foil
Polycarbonate plates
Nets

The material is chosen together with the customer.

Aeration

: Aeration

In- and outside the drying hall measurements are taking place to control the installed aeration.

All climate data which are relevant for the controlling are evaluated and processed.

Completion

: Mounting of the rotating drum

At completion the rotating drum is put on the side walls and driven into the hall.
