ABSTRACT:
The drying container has foraminous side walls and an open bottom which is received onto a vertically positionable, upwardly facing lower wall having a sloping surface. A pair of semi-cylindrical shielding walls encircle the drying basket and are spaced therefrom, the inner surface of which includes a trough to receive water from the drying container. During drying, produce received within the drying container is rotated which moves the water from the produce outwardly through the openings in the container sidewalls to the trough. At the conclusion of spin drying, the lower wall is moved downwardly away from its container enclosing position and the dried produce falls onto receiving conveyor belts for moving the dried produce to a packing station. At this time the drying container is subjected to short reciprocative movements which serves to shake loose any produce adhering to the inner surface of the container.
