Brief History of Chatron Lda.

Chatron has existed for over 25 years and has won several innovation awards in Portugal and throughout Europe.
Our innovative products are a reference in their application areas.

Solar Light Tube - Sun Tunnel - Sun Pipe

Natural lighting of spaces through the capture, transmission and diffusion of natural light within domestic and industrial spaces. The Solar Light Tube - Sun Tunnel - Sun Pipe

In addition, the Solar Light Tube - Sun Tunnel - Sun Pipe - is a natural lighting system that maximizes the concept of renewable energy, channeling the natural light from the roofs into the houses and factories. The Solar Pipes - Solar Light Tube - Sun Tunnel - Sun Pipe - create more natural, healthier and more productive environments. Our Solar Light Tube - Sun Tunnel - Sun Pipe - are suitable for almost any application, from bathrooms, corridors, living rooms and rooms of houses, to factories and warehouses. We have references throughout Europe, but also in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and North, Central and South America.

The Solar Light Tube - Sun Tunnel - Sun Pipe - was also designed to optimize efficiency and useful life, offering a high guarantee to its customers..

Chatron has several versions of Solar Light Tube - Sun Tunnel - Sun Pipe - for efficient lighting during the day but also throughout the 24 hours:

Solar Light Tube - Sun Tunnel - Sun Pipe - Standard version for daytime lighting
Solar Light Tube - Sun Tunnel - Sun Pipe - PERSA– With natural lighting during the day and with a small built-in accumulation system for led lighting at night
Solar Light Tube - Sun Tunnel - Sun Pipe - Uranus - For integral lighting of industrial spaces, always with priority to natural solar lighting.

Another area in great development and with a lot of innovation to the mixture is the solar drying / dehydration.
The first solar dryer / dehydrator developed by Chatron was carried out in 2007. Since then, Chatron has developed and innovated its products a lot.

Solar dryers

Chatron solar dehydrators / dryers are devices that allow the air to be heated with solar energy to a temperature above 45ºC, with a corresponding relative humidity below 10%, which, when blown inside a drying chamber, can remove moisture from products / foods that are in there. Solar dryers require an initial investment, but no expense (day drying) or little expense (drying 24 hours) for their operation.
Nowadays solar drying is essentially done using Chatron solar dryers / dehydrators, of different complexities, which optimize the energy source that is the Sun.

The use of Chatron solar dryers / dehydrators has several advantages, including:

Increased product life and reduced post-harvest losses;
Obtaining quality products and increasing added value to the product;
Greater efficiency in the face of natural drying and protection of food from insects, rain and dust;
No dependence on fuels and reduced storage and transportation space required;
Relatively simple maintenance system;
Reduction of environmental and social impact, reducing food waste.
