ABSTRACT:
A fruit dryer comprising a roller conveyor passing through an elongate drying chamber is disclosed. An air plenum having a plurality of transverse nozzle openings is disposed above the conveyor and directs a series of curtain-like air streams on the fruit below. The major portion of the air within the dryer is recycled by a fan while a smaller portion of said air is exhausted by a second fan. A heater heats both the recycled air and fresh air introduced as make-up for the exhausted air. A means is provided to rotate the individual rollers of the roller conveyor as the conveyor is advanced in order to expose all sides of the fruit to the air streams.
