Abstract

Peru is a world benchmark in the commercialization of specialty and clean cup coffees applying fair trade and has the Honey variety whose organoleptic characteristics make it in high demand. The objective was to design and build a tunnel-type solar dryer with a self-controlled microclimate for high value cup Honey coffees in the province of Moyobamba. For this, we evaluated different designs that incorporate electronic elements with air heating capacity using solar energy and moisture extractors with metal structures for automatic removal every 20 minutes in which we made drying experiments at different temperature and time with grains of Honey coffee. We built a dryer prototype in a geometric vault shape as a surface constructive element; with trays for drying the coffee at maximum temperatures of 35 °C with removal of the bean every 20 minutes in whose facilities has been possible to obtain Honey coffee beans with humidity between 12 to 14% whose samples after being processed obtained an average of 82 points in cup. The device has served its purpose of drying Honey coffee in aseptic, automatic and controlled conditions to obtain Honey coffee with clean cup quality.
