Design and manufacturing of a hazelnut dryer

This paper is about the design and manufacturing of a hazelnut drying system. The way of design and installation, functioning, operation and maintenance of the plant are the reason why the design of such a plant was necessary. Recently, there has been a chronic shortage of nuts on the Croatian market. With the significant increase in subsidies, the number of hazelnut plantations has also increased, especially in small farms. Even with the first larger harvests, the problem of drying the fruit was recognized. Industrial plants are too large for family farms that simply cannot produce enough, and they are also too expensive. It was necessary to build a plant acceptable in terms of capacity, characteristics and price for farms with lower production, such as plantations of 1 to 2 hectares. The plant is designed so that you can build it yourself due to the simplicity of the individual parts, of course, with basic knowledge of mechanical engineering and also with some tools. Turning and bending the sheet metal for the tank on rollers is also required, but on a smaller scale
