Mobile Cabinet Dryer with air duct drying system easily on-the-move
The mobile cabinet dryer was developed since the drying of fruits, vegetables, and herbs can be an interesting business, but often the investment is too much for a single farmer as the dryer would not be adequately utilized due to the seasonal nature of crops. Therefore this mobile cabinet dryer was designed, which is assembled on a trailer and can be easily towed and used in a "Rent a Dryer" system. The dryer is equipped with 50 trays and has a capacity of up to 300 kilograms (803.7 pounds) a day. By an innovative, registered air duct system, drying is entirely uniform and consistent on all trays. No continual supervision and repeated changing of the trays' positions is necessary as with comparable dryers. Different types of dryers are available that use electricity, gas, oil, or waste as the energy source.
