How to choose in this category
Drying and dehydration equipment extends the shelf life of fruit, vegetables, spices and similar products by removing water with controlled warm air: solar dryers and hybrid dryers that combine solar heat with electric heating.
Selection criteria
- The aim of drying is to bring the product's water activity below the level at which microorganisms can grow; target moisture and water activity are set per product and verified in the laboratory.
- A solar-only system depends on the weather: drying slows on cloudy days and at night. A hybrid system tops up solar heat with an electric heater, making drying time and result independent of the weather.
- Air temperature, velocity and humidity are set together: too much heat costs colour and nutrients, while weak airflow leaves the product dry outside and moist inside.
- An enclosed drying chamber protects the product from dust, insects and rain, making hygiene and batch consistency easier than open-air sun drying. Pre-treatment such as washing, slicing and, where needed, blanching is planned before drying.
