Agri-Flow

A compact vertical crop dryer concept that uses an auger, hot air and moisture sensing to support drying after harvest.

SustainabilityStatus not specifiedProject year: 2026

The problem

High-moisture harvested crops are difficult to dry when weather is unreliable.

Project story

The design moves crops through a vertical drying process and uses moisture control to guide the drying stage. Agri-Flow earned first rank in the BIRAC Design for BioE3 Challenge.

How it works

An auger moves crops through a compact vertical dryer while hot air flows through the chamber. Moisture sensing helps control drying before the crop reaches the separator.
