This invention introduces a high-efficiency hybrid dryer designed specifically for premium cocoa bean processing. Addressing the limitations of traditional sun drying—weather dependency and contamination risks—this system integrates Solar Thermal Energy (via a parabolic acrylic dome) with an auxiliary Far-Infrared Radiation (FIR) system. A key innovation is the "Ferris Wheel" Rotary Circulation mechanism, which circulates the beans through the heating zone without tumbling. This technique ensure
