Drying - Quality Control
Pictures:
While
the beans are pre-drying on the racks, employees walk up and down
the rows of racks and move the beans around occasionally to help
aerate them. This opens up another opportunity for improving the
quality of the beans. While the employees are moving along the
racks, they remove rocks, sticks, or any beans that might have
been broken, or insect bitten. Many of these beans have already
been identified and removed during the washing method by removing
the floaters, since the broken and insect bitten beans normally
contain less weight.
