A plane collector was used for dehydration of chamomile (Matricaria Chamomilla L.). The thermal system was built and tested in Chiapas. The proposed system increased the solar thermal energy efficiency, due to it could change his position depending on the season of the year. During the experiment test, 2 kg of fresh chamomile was considered. The experimental results show that physiochemistry properties of the dehydrated chamomile are keep. It is important to point out that the use of the dehydrator presents several advantages such as: low cost, efficiency, minimal maintenance, and easy built. For all the aforementioned, this work is useful for the development of the rural areas. Where, it can be used by chamomile producers to obtain benefits due to the conservation and distribution of dehydrated chamomile.
