Device utilizing solar energy, especially for drying and roasting of agricultural-, as well as food processing products, finalizing distillation and evaporation, separating of complicated compounds

A device utilizing solar energy for drying and roasting of agricultural and food processing products comprising:

• collectors fixed on a frame having a backside, each of said collectors being substantially planar;
• a moving mechanism on the backside of said frame for moving said collectors in both an East-West and a North-South direction to track direction of incoming solar radiation;
• said moving mechanism comprising plural supports for said frame, which supports move independently of each other;
• position monitoring means and moving mechanism control means designed and adapted to be pre-programmed with an established daily tracking path which is adjusted subject to position information from said position monitoring means;
• one end of each of said supports being attached to a fixed base surface;
• each of said collectors comprising
• an absorbing plate with a surface comprising a plurality of one of a pyramidal and wedge shape,
• an insulating plate placed on said frame and supporting said absorbing plate,
• a translucent covering plate covering said absorbing plate,
• baffles extending from said absorbing plate to said covering plate to define air paths within said collector;
• a collector inlet opening at a beginning of the air paths;
• and
• a collector outlet with a filter opposite said collector inlet opening at an ending of the air paths;
• an air pump housing operatively connected to said collector outlet;
• and
• a drying device operatively connected to an output of said air pump housing to receive heated air from said collectors.
