ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING PROCEDURES
5.1.
SITE SELECTION
5.1.1.
In selecting the site, look for:
a.
A level ground away from standing or
running water.
b.
Open area for maximum absorption of
solar radiation.
5.1.2.
Preparing the selected site (about 4m x 30m) by:
a.
Clear away all sharp and/or pointed objects (stones, broken glass, nail, etc.) which might puncture
the SBD50 drying floor. In addition, refrain from smoking while working because hot ashes may
damage the SBD50 materials.
b.
Make sure there is sufficient space around the SBD50 for pulling the “Tube Mixer”on both sides of
the dryer.
c.
The positioning of the SBD50 and solar panel should be on a location where maximum exposure to
solar radiation can be obtained.
5.2.
INSTALLATION
5.2.1.
Set-up/installation:
a.
Unfold the SBD50. Take note of the folding
pattern while it is being unfolded. This
unfolding sequence should be followed in
reverse when preparing for proper
storage.
b.
Pull the other end to get rid of the folds
before laying to the ground. Make sure
that the drying floor is properly stretched
at two meters wide (for the drying area)
along the full length of the SBD50. This will
ensure that the drying floor will stay flat
when using the “Tube mixer”.
