Operating Principle
The food drying machine uses heat generated by a heating system to evaporate moisture from both the interior and exterior of food, fruits, and vegetables. The moisture is then removed promptly through a dehumidification system, extending shelf life, preserving freshness, and dehydrating the food, while preserving its nutrients.
METHENA's popular fruit and vegetable dryers include 24-tray, 48 tray dryer, 96-tray, 144-tray, and 192-tray models. Customization is also possible. Specific specifications are shown in the table below:
