Abstract
ABSTRACT A pilot-plant scale solar dryer to reduce the moisture of paunch contents was designed, built, and tested. During high insolation the dryer operated like a modified solar still. During low insolation, drying was done by silica gel which was later regenerated with air solar-heated 40 C by a concentrating air collector. In November, the moisture was reduced from 80 to 30 per-cent (w.b.) in 5 days. With average insolation, sup-plemental desiccant drying was not used. When insola-tion was only 30 percent of average night-time desiccant usage removed 75 percent of the moisture.
