The fruits are fresh and perishable products with rich water content. Various undesirable physical and chemical reactions occur due to the action of microorganisms and enzymes, causing food to rot and deteriorate.
But now, you don’t have to worry about these problems anymore. After dehydration and drying by our fruit dryer, it can effectively reduce the water content, hinder the reproduction of microorganisms, and inhibit the activity of enzymes in the fruit. The dried fruit can be stored for a long time at room temperature, and it is also easy to store and carry.

Using tips for drying fruit
- The environment around the fruit drying equipment should be ventilated to facilitate hot air circulation and dehumidification.
- When choosing fruits, you should choose high-quality varieties with thick flesh, nice color, high solid content.
- Smaller fruits can be dried whole or halved as needed. The smaller or thinner the cut, the faster the dehydration speed. Try to keep the thickness of the same batch of dried fruits consistent, which is conducive to the consistency of Finnish products.
- Different fruits have different drying effects. The drying time and temperature are based on factors such as the thickness of the slice, the water content of the fruit, and the temperature of the surrounding environment.
