Cardamom-drying Chamber

Category	Agriculture,Agro processing,Others
Scout	HBN
Details Of Innovation	Mr. Abraham had designed the Abraham Low pressure cardamom drying chamber. The speciality of this drying chamber is that cardamom retains its natural green colour. Cardamom is just filled in a container and not spread over a large area. This innovation therefore saves time, space and labour. The main part of the drying chamber is an air blower run by a 1 hp. motor. The unit would be the size of a big refrigerator and its runs on electricity and LPG. It costs Rs. 22,000/unit.
