Condensation dryer for berries, fruits, vegetables
The dryer consists of a compact cabinet made out of stainless steel with thermal insulation made out of polyurethane foam. The installation operates on the basis of a heat pump. The temperature control is electronic, which adjusts the temperature depending on the specific product. The dryer is not recommended for drying meat.
Condensate flows out at the bottom; it is necessary to connect the condensate drain to a sewer or to a container for collecting condensate water.
Operating principle of the dryer
Air drying by the condensation of food products (fruit, tea, mushrooms, etc.) is the most energy efficient way to remove water from various materials, including food. It works on the principle of a heat pump, since when cooling in the evaporator we cause the temperature to drop below the dew point of the air, due to which the surface of the evaporator becomes moistened with moisture from the air. The heat taken from the air is immediately returned to the same air, and another 20-30% is added due to the electricity required to drive the compressor. Thus, this heat is more than enough to maintain the required temperature in the drying cabinet, which is well insulated and thus ensures safe and high-quality drying of food. After processing, air is passed through the grates containing the material to be dried. The air is humidified and returned to the drying unit for further processing. The process proceeds continuously until the required final moisture content of the product is reached.
The so-called “cold drying†at low temperatures allows you to preserve most of the characteristics of fresh fruits, berries, and vegetables, such as taste, aroma and color.
Basic version
This is a compact, sealed cabinet made out of food-grade stainless steel with durable thermal insulation (70 mm thick polyurethane foam), equipped with a compact cooling and heating device, which is located in the upper part of the cabinet. Power consumption 400/500 W/h. The control is electronic, with the ability to set the drying temperature, which allows you to adapt to the conditions required for drying various products. The water is drained through a plastic fitting into the sewer or into a cistern.

The unique feature of this vacuum honey evaporator model, distinguishing it from a honey dryer, is its ability to create a deep vacuum with a residual pressure of up to 0.08 Bar during processing! This innovative unit not only allows for quick and efficient drying of honey but also enables the immediate evaporation of water, producing a semi-finished product suitable for the subsequent production of «dry honey» or powdered honey.
- There is no need to have a large drying surface – an evaporation mirror.
- There is no need to install a mixing device for thick and viscous products.
- Low evaporation temperature of moisture – water from honey, at which its quality and medicinal properties are not compromised, and the risk of HMF growth is reduced to almost zero.
- Fast and efficient dehydration of honey at a low processing temperature.
- Material: Stainless steel
- Principle of operation: Batch mode
- Max vacuum: -1 Bar
The peculiarity of this unit is the combination of several functions: homogenization and drying of honey. The vertical vacuum dryer allows you to dry honey weighing up to 3300 kg in a short time while preserving its useful properties, color, taste, and organoleptic qualities. The vacuum honey dryer has a number of significant advantages over classic atmospheric honey dryers due to the reduction of processing time and the preservation of its beneficial properties, which is achieved by drying at a lower temperature.
- The drying process occurs much faster due to the evaporation of moisture under vacuum.
- High degree of homogenization of honey due to the operation of a special mixing device.
- The narrow vertical design does not require large production areas while boasting high productivity.
