Coffee in Peru

Amazonas is one of the main coffee production areas in Peru, according to the coffee forum magazine.

Coffee drying machine

My project focuses on step 2 drying, I want to create a prototype of a machine that allows the drying of (dehydrated) coffee, controlling the heat and humidity, with periods of ventilation and movement so that the drying is uniform. The process will be as follows:

Prototype

At the end of this process we will obtain dry coffee
