Abstract

In processing applied to drying samples that require a parameter with greater specificity, the internal temperature control and the homogenization of the equipment chamber is fundamental in reducing the risks of modifications to active principles, which makes greenhouses with forced air circulation widely used and viable for such applications. The present project aims to the elaboration and construction of greenhouse with forced air circulation through of easily accessible materials, with automation by Arduino, being developed for vertical drying of Fibroin plates. In addition to conducting specific tests and statistical applications for validation of the same.  Characterized in an experimental study, with material selection and appropriate equipments, elaboration and construction of the system in an economically viable way with standardized and controlled operation. In view of the aspects observed, achieved the development of a prototype of the equipment, verifying its functionality within the objectified parameters. Featuring a good alternative in the performance of the drying process of fibroin plates with good control of the estimated factors.
