  • Biomass drying system and method
    Patent number: 11656027
    Abstract: A system that facilitates the controlled drying of biomass is provided. The system and method provides automated control over the rate of drying and the moisture content of the resulting product. The system and method also includes auto-loading and unloading, thereby providing a fully automated process. The system and method can be adapted to match the scale of the production and therefore has applicability for large operations as well as micro operations. In addition, since the drying rate and moisture content of the material being dried is monitored and controlled, the system and method can be used to dry products for a wide range of different applications (e.g., drying hemp for medical use as well as for industrial use).
