Coffee Dryer with Dehydrated Air

Abstract

Coffee is one of the most consumed beverages in the world, it has a high added value, and the manufacturing process must be taken care of. New coffee post-harvest technologies dispense concrete base systems and reduce defects of traditional drying. This study analyzed the effects of new drying units with static dryers that work with dehydrated air to produce gourmet coffees. The results showed that an air dehydrator can dry coffee pods with an initial moisture content of 52% to 10% in just 3.2 days. The conclusion was that the dried coffee fruits in the concrete bases lose more quality than the dried coffee in new drying units.
