5 Comparison Table. Conventional Solar Dryer vs. Shelf Dryer Characteristics Shelf dryer (electrical or natural gas Solar dryer powered) Capacities* kg kg Depending on model Cost of equipment 5,000 8,000 USD Depending on model 5,000 10,000 USD Depending on size Dependence on sunlight/risks No Yes Installment per 1 kg/day capacity USD USD (Varies depending on fruit variety) Drying time (e.g. apricot)/cycle hours 4-5 days Quality/Food safety No pests, dust free, microbe free Impossible to control Appearance/Healthiness Light attractive color, nutritional values Dark color, less vitamins preserved Cost of production (average per kg) 0.5$ for Energy + Labor (less labor intensive) Almost no Energy cost + labor cost (more labor intensive) Dimensions/Space occupying Depending on model 25m 2 or 40m 2 (for the equal productivity equipment) 1.75m 2 or 2.2m 2 Material: Stainless steel Yes No Automatic control over the process Yes No * we compare the dryers of the same capacity

6 Dairy processing 5000 L/Hour L/Hour Milk reception point Advantages 4 times faster processing than by through weighing Sanitary conditions of milk reception are preserved Milk storage tanks 1000 L 1500 L 2000 L and more

7 Dairy processing Milk Pasteurization point Advantages Increases the efficiency of pasteurization Decreases the expenses of pasteurization ph meter (Professional) Advantages Increased measurements precision Durable, in comparison to the existent in the market Easy to operate

8 Dairy processing Cheese vat 500 L 1000 L 1500 L 2000 L And more Advantages Easy to operate Improved quality of final product Less labor work

9 Dairy processing Mozzarella-Suluguni cheese production unit Advantages Improved quality of final product Improved sanitary conditions of production process Several times less labor work 100 kg/hour

10 Food processing Vacuum packaging Advantages High quality packaging solution Easy to operate Increased shelf life of the product Shrink tank

11 Fruit Processing Industry Improvement Crusher Press cm diameter Fruit Washing Packing Press with Apple Mill

12 Fruit Processing Industry Improvement Destemmer with pump 1.5 ton/hour 2 ton/hour 3 ton/hour Wine plate filter Tanks Fermentation tank Wine corker L

13 Hygiene Systems Brushes & Hoses Advantages Various color solutions are intended for introduction of HACCP in the production Cleaning becomes more efficient and cost-saving Risk of cross contamination is minimized

14 Fruit & Vegetable production Plastic Foldable Crates Orchard quality tools

15 Fruit & Vegetable production Biological Systems Biological crop protection Natural pollination Consultancy and advice

16 Fruit & Vegetable production Advantages of Natural Pollination Buzz pollination High pollen transfer rate High flower visit rate Lack of communication Hop through the crop Long foraging days

17 Fruit & Vegetable production Natural pollination

18 Fruit & Vegetable production Intensive fruit orchards

19 Fruit & Vegetable production Advantages of Intensive Orchards Fruit production starts from the second year after planting From 3 to 10 times more trees per hectare Higher production per sq. meter of land Easier to treat, harvest, protect against hail and frost, and irrigate Better possibilities to use mechanization New varieties of fruits

20 Fruit & Vegetable production Modern Greenhouses Glasshouse Plastic cover greenhouses

21 Fruit & Vegetable production Advantages of Modern Greenhouses 1. Better ventilation due to higher roofs and gables. 2. Better insulation of construction, which eventually decrease the heating costs. 3. Long lasting, durable construction. 4. High roofs provide larger space for operations, which decreases labor and makes it possible to prolong the cultivation season up to 10 and more months a year. 5. The construction of modern greenhouses permits to install additional screens (over the greenhouse or inside it) for hot summers and cold winters (very important for Armenian weather conditions). 6. Less labor intensive due to more automated processes.
