These days, fruit dryers have become very popular. A fruit dryer is generally used to dry fruits; in addition to fruits, some of these devices also dry vegetables, grains, meat, and even flowers. Of course, having enough information to buy and use this type of device is essential. This article can help you if you are looking for a guide for fruit dryers.
In general, fruit dryers are available on the market as Gas Heating and Electric types. Each of these machines has different features and properties. Before taking any action, you need to identify your goals for buying a fruit dryer. The Bekrdane Company manufactures electric fruit dryers in two models. The common features of these two models (D500 and D1000) are the quality of the dried fruit produced and the dehydrators' materials. These two models have different capacities for choosing the device you want, depending on the home or workshop application. Consulting with those who specialize in this area or users experience can be helpful.
It should be noted that if you buy a home-use fruit dryer (D500) besides providing the required dried fruit, you can sell the rest of them and thus have a small income.
Before explaining how to use a fruit dryer, you should choose your desired fruit and wash and sanitize them thoroughly. It is better to separate the fruits that have changed color or are spoiled and do not use them for drying; because it affects the quality of dried fruit. In other words, the taste or color of dried fruits may not be perfect. After washing the fruit, remove the moisture from the surface of them. Next, cut the fruit. If the fruit has a large seed, such as peaches, fruit core remover should be used.
After slicing the fruits, put them in the trays of the fruit dryer. The fruit dryer by using thermal elements transmits heat indirectly and evenly in all trays. With this method, besides preserving the vitamins in fruits, no moisture remains in them, and there is no change in their color.
You can use the fruit dryer's control panel to adjust the temperature and time and wait for the fruit to dry. The choice of the proper temperature and the duration of the process depends on the type of fruit. For example, the time required for drying depends on the fruit's initial and final moisture, the environment humidity, and the temperature inside and outside of the fruit dryer. For this purpose, it is better to set the temperature between 40 and 60 degrees Celsius and the drying time to be about 4 to 8 hours.
