Signature Offerings Overview
The 16-Tray Verto Dehydration System is a hybrid solar and electric-powered unit built for continuous, high-volume drying of tubers, vegetables, and fruits. With two air circulation fans and 16 total drying trays, it delivers reliable 24-hour dehydration regardless of weather conditions.
Stats / Success Stories
- Processes approximately 500kg of highly perishable farm produce per month
- 16 total drying trays (8 upper cabinet + 8 lower cabinet)
Problem It Solves
Farmers and food processors often lose significant volumes of highly perishable tubers, vegetables, and fruits post-harvest because solar-only drying systems stall during rainy or humid conditions, and many units lack the tray capacity to process meaningful volumes efficiently.
Benefits & Real Examples
- 24-hour dehydration capability — continues operating during rainy and humid conditions, unlike solar-only systems
- Dual air circulation fans (upper and lower cabinets) ensure even, consistent airflow across all trays
- 16 total drying trays (8 upper + 8 lower) for high-volume batch processing
- ~500kg monthly capacity of perishable farm produce
- Versatile use — suitable for tubers, vegetables, and fruits
- Hybrid solar/electric power supply — flexible, uninterrupted operation regardless of weather
UN SDGs Alignment
- SDG 2 – Zero Hunger: Reduces post-harvest losses of perishable produce, strengthening food security
- SDG 7 – Affordable & Clean Energy: Solar-powered, with electric backup for uninterrupted operation
- SDG 8 – Decent Work & Economic Growth: Higher throughput supports farmer income and small-business viability
- SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption & Production: Reduces post-harvest food waste
- SDG 13 – Climate Action: Reduces reliance on purely fossil-fuel-based drying methods
How It Works
- Produce (tubers, vegetables, fruits) is loaded onto the 16 drying trays — 8 in the upper cabinet, 8 in the lower cabinet
- Two air circulation fans (upper and lower) distribute heat and airflow evenly across all trays
- The system draws on solar power during daylight hours and switches to electric power supply as needed for uninterrupted operation
- This hybrid setup enables continuous 24-hour dehydration, including during rainy or humid conditions when solar-only dryers would stall
- At full capacity, the system processes approximately 500kg of produce per month
