Description
A roll of unsoldered galvanized wire mesh used to fabricate coffee drying trays, allowing coffee cherries/beans to dry evenly with good air circulation.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Galvanized wire resists rust during outdoor drying use
- Mesh weave allows airflow for even, faster drying
- Unsoldered format allows custom tray sizing and fabrication
- Durable enough for repeated seasonal use
Primary Application:
Used by coffee farmers and processors to build raised drying trays/beds for sun-drying coffee cherries and parchment.
Supplying the mesh unsoldered, as a roll rather than a pre-made tray, lets a farmer or processor fabricate drying trays to whatever size and frame suits their existing drying beds or stands, rather than being limited to a fixed factory tray size. The open weave allows air to circulate both above and below a layer of coffee cherries or parchment, which speeds up even drying and reduces the risk of mould developing compared with drying directly on solid ground or tarpaulin. Galvanized wire resists the rust that would otherwise develop quickly given the wire's constant outdoor exposure to sun, dew, and rain during the drying season. Built to withstand repeated seasonal handling — stretching over frames, cleaning, and storage between harvests — it is a durable, cost-effective material for smallholder and cooperative coffee processing operations alike.
