5. WARNINGS!

5.1. Do not directly install the CDC II™ without clearing away debris and other foreign materials

on the ground.

5.2. Do not wear shoes with spikes as this might cause damage to the CDC II™.

5.3. Do not smoke beside or near the drying case, cigarette butts might burn and damage the

CDC II™.

5.4. Do not use tools/accessories with sharp edges as these may cause tears/cuts to the liner.

5.5. Do not allow loading vehicles (i.e., forklift/trucks) to run over the CDC II™ as this will cause

damage to the liner.

5.6. Do not keep the CDC II™ unclean as this will lead to rodent’s attack. (Refer to 7.3)

6. INSTALLATION

6.1.SITE SELECTION

6.1.1. In selecting a site, look for:

a. A smooth area away from standing or

running water.

b. Open area for maximum absorption of

solar radiation.

6.2. PREPARATION

6.2.1. Unfold the CDC II™ on the leveled ground.

Take note of the folding pattern while the

CDC II™ is being unfolded. This pattern

should be followed when folding back the

CDC II™ for safe keeping.

6.2.2. Inflate the air tubes using the foot pump to

provide a wall-like structure to the CDC

II™.

a. Insert the pneumatic hose by pushing

inside the valve of the foot pump.

b. Connect the valve of the foot pump into

the inlet valve of the air tube and fill it

up with air by pumping.

NOTE:

After filling up the air tube with air,

simply detach the foot pump from the

air tube and close the inlet valve.

6.3. LOADING

6.3.1. Loading procedure requires at least two

people:

a. One person fills the CDC II™ by

pouring the commodity from bags or

buckets.

b. The second person spreads the

commodities evenly to a recommended

commodity bed thickness.

6.3.2. Ensure that tools/accessories being used

do not have sharp edges as these may

cause tears/cuts in the liner. Wooden

tools/accessories are recommended. Use

plastic or wooden rake to attain even

distribution of commodities.

6.4. COMMODITY THICKNESS AND MIXING FREQUENCY

6.4.1. Commodity bed thickness:

This is a major parameter to be considered

in sun drying especially for seeds and

coffee. Consult experts on recommended

bed thickness for your specific commodity

based on local atmospheric conditions. As

a rule of thumb, a bed thickness of 4 cm

will result in attaining even drying.

6.4.2. Regular mixing:

This is another major parameter to be

considered as atmospheric conditions,

specifically heat and wind, vary from to

location. As a rule of thumb, mix

commodities every 30 minutes to attain

equal drying. Frequent mixing will speed

up the drying process and improve its

quality. Turning of commodities using a

wooden rake to prevent damage to the

CDC II™ is recommended.

6.5. CLOSING THE ZIPPER

6.5.1. In cases of sudden rain or if when

commodities are needed to be dried on the

following day, move commodities to one

side of the CDC II™ (the side where there

is no zipper cover). Use the other side to

cover the other side using the pulling

straps.

6.5.2. Closing and opening of the heavy-duty

zipper can be easily done.

6.6. PREVENTING CONDENSATION AT NIGHT

6.6.1. Condensation is caused by fluctuations in temperature that usually result from day/night

temperature variations. Condensation may take place at a minimum variance of 5°C.

6.6.2. To prevent condensation in situations where the commodities should be retained in the CDC

II™ overnight, it is recommended (BEFORE CLOSING THE CDC II™) that the commodity

temperature be lowered closer to the average night temperature.

6.7. UNLOADING

6.7.1. Transfer the commodities to the bags

when the commodities have reached their

equilibrium moisture content.

6.7.2. Scoop the dry commodities using plastic

or wooden ladle with no sharp edges back

into bags.

6.7.3. Do not use tools/equipment with sharp

edges as these may cause tears/holes

and damage the liner. Use plastic

spades/shovels, with round corners, to

empty the CDC II™.

6.8. DEFLATING THE AIR TUBE

6.8.1. To remove the air from the air tube, simply

open the two inlet valves.

6.8.2. This will cause the air to freely come out of

the air tube.

7. MAINTENANCE AND CARE

7.1.REPLACEMENT OF AIR TUBE

7.1.1. When the side wall cannot be inflated, the

air tube inside is damaged. It is

recommended to replace the air tube with

a new one. To replace it, attach one end of

the spare air tube to the old air tube. Then,

old, and new PE air tubes are connected

for pulling.

7.1.2. Carefully pull the other end of the old tube.

The old PE tube releases while the new

PE tube is re-inserted inside the sidewall.

NOTE:

▪Air tubes are especially designed and

are only available at GrainPro®.

7.2. REPAIRING PUNCTURES AND OTHER DAMAGES

7.2.1. Use the patching material and adhesive

found in the repair kit:

a. Clean the area to be patched with a

damp cloth or organic solvent.

b. Apply glue (150-200g) on both

surfaces with a brush or equivalent.

c. Let it dry for 5-10 minutes and stick

and apply sufficient pressure.

7.2.2. Protective maintenance:

a. Check the patched WPE occasionally and replace or re-patch if necessary.

7.3. CLEANING
