Abstract: Solar based Powered Automatic Fruit Drying System is a little scale natural product drying machine which is valuable to dry various sorts of organic product. To make their use productive, they can be dried and protected so natural products can be utilized over an extensive stretch. Saving organic products by drying is a significant activity proceeded from ancient period. Infrared radiation can be utilized for grape drying reason. It is one of a kind procedure and particularly not quite the same as traditional or common drying. The normal drying process has numerous disadvantages, for example, requiring additional time, enormous venture on space necessity and foundation for drying process, which can't be managed by a white collar class rancher. The budgetary up degree of a rancher in created nations is conceivable by giving him the advanced, programmed and ease organic product drying unit. This paper depicts a controlled domain which is reasonable for little scale organic product drying process inside a shut chamber, utilizing Microcontroller (89s52). To begin with, the infrared light is utilized to inside warmth the natural product to evacuate the water content inside the organic product. At that point the air is blown inside the chamber to keep up the stickiness underneath a predetermined level and fumes the hot let some circulation into of the chamber. Microcontroller (89s52) is utilized to control the elements of warming, blowing the air and giving time sign and keep up consistent all through the chamber. After the fruition of the drying procedure a signal is initiated for the length of ten seconds to show the finish of the drying procedure. An instant message is additionally sent to the rancher through GSM to insinuate him in the event that he isn't anywhere near. The desire by expending less time contrast with regular drying process. Solar powered board is utilized to supply capacity to microcontroller.
