ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for drying fruits, berries, and the like, including a helical drum for supporting berries in its interior. Each turn of the helical drum is in parallel spaced-apart relation to the adjacent turns, and the spacing between turns is smaller than the diameter of the fruits or berries being dried. The drum is mounted on a frame for rotation about its longitudinal axis, and a fan is mounted inside the helical drum to provide a drying current of air outwardly between the turns of the drum. Berries which are introduced into the interior of the drum are supported between and on the turns of the helix, and as the drum rotates, the berries are moved down the drum and through the drying current of air.
