BBKW

Solar drying solution for the agri-food and pharmaceutical industry.

A solar-powered drying technology with IoT-enabled solar walls for optimized drying of herbs, foods, and algae, improving efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions with sustainable solar energy integration.

The Problem

Traditional drying methods are expensive and environmentally harmful

10–15%

of global industrial energy usage globally is consumed by drying processes

Traditional drying methods—whether electric or fuel-based—are expensive, energy-intensive, and harmful to the environment, generating high CO₂ emissions and maintenance costs. 

Sun-drying, while cheaper, is unreliable due to weather, risking crop loss and inconsistent quality. Farmers and producers struggle with inefficient systems, limited control, and lack of data—leading to poor-quality outputs and reduced profitability.
 

THE SOLUTION

Advanced solar drying technology

BBKW transforms recycled maritime containers into hybrid solar dryers powered by sunlight and smart automation. The system uses solar walls and a hybrid backup with intelligent IoT controls, enabling consistent drying conditions regardless of climate. 

Remote monitoring and customizable profiles ensure top-quality results with minimal energy use. The technology saves up to 80% in energy costs and emissions while providing high precision drying reports and scalable deployment.
 

The Impact

Reducing CO2 emissions and saving energy

80%

of energy costs and emissions reduction

BBWK’s solar drying chambers significantly reduce the environmental impact of drying processes. By cutting CO2 emissions and lowering energy consumption, our technology supports sustainability goals while preventing food waste. 

The automated operation ensures consistent quality and efficiency, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and minimizing operational costs.
