The seaweed dryer technology is a faster and more efficient way to dry seaweeds than the traditional sun-drying method. Both of the floating- and permanent-type dryers can accommodate two tons of fresh seaweeds and can be used during cloudy or rainy days and at nighttimes.

Two (2) types of seaweed dryers were developed, floating and permanent-type, which will be dependent on the area or location were the dryer will be constructed. Both types have the same greenhouse-type drying chamber which can accommodate two (2) tons of fresh seaweeds. Solar-powered exhaust fans were installed to enhance air circulation and facilitate continuous drying even during cloudy or rainy days. Lighting system were likewise added for nighttime drying operations.
