Varieties
There are two types of devices on sale: convection and infrared. These devices differ in their operating principle, so they have some features that it is better to know about before purchasing.
Convection
Equipped with a heating element and fan. The heating element heats the air to the required temperatures, and the fan ensures its movement inside the chamber.
This equipment is affordable, performs its functions well, and is therefore in demand among consumers.
However, in order to achieve uniform drying of fruits at different levels, you will have to periodically change the trays. And given that the session lasts a long time (up to 18 hours), this poses certain difficulties.
Although there are more expensive models in which air is supplied through special channels on the side walls, and not through the lower openings of the trays, then all workpieces are dehydrated equally.
It should also be taken into account that heating in any case “kills” some of the vitamins. In addition, in such a vegetable dryer, products can change their color and smell.
On store shelves you can find devices with heating elements that are not equipped with a fan. It’s better not to buy these, because they cope with the task poorly: often the fruits on the lower tiers are baked rather than dried. At the same time, the top remains raw.
Infrared
Water is evaporated using infrared rays, which are similar to natural sunlight. Thanks to the gentle treatment, up to 95% of vitamins are retained in vegetables and fruits, they do not lose color or smell. At the same time, the process itself takes place twice as fast.
However, such devices are more expensive than convection ones, and they are much less common on sale.
A variation of this type of unit is a tablecloth dryer. It looks like a small tablecloth, but it has a little secret: between the layers of film there are graphite tracks that pass electric current. As a result of the resulting resistance, graphite begins to radiate heat. You can use a similar device for other purposes: drying and heating dishes, heating a room. Unfortunately, their working area is small, so it will not be possible to process the entire crop.
Location of the heating element
The heating element of electric dryers can be located:
- Below is the most common option. Such devices are easy to assemble and disassemble; you can swap trays without any problems. However, moisture released during drying often gets on the heater. And this leads to breakdown.
- On top - the heating element is out of reach of the liquid, and therefore lasts longer. But such units are less convenient to use.
- From the side, they look like small ovens. The air in this case comes from the rear wall. Inside there are several baking trays, each of which can be pulled out without affecting the others. It is also possible to remove some of the levels and make room for placing large items. Disadvantages - increased dimensions and high cost.
Power
The power of small fruit dryers and tablecloths varies from 150 to 250 W. These devices are not capable of creating many blanks. They can be used to prepare natural chips or a small portion of dried fruit.
But devices with a power of 300 - 700 W are most suitable for home use. They don’t consume much electricity either, and they will help you cope with the bounty of the garden.
More powerful devices 800 - 1,000 W are needed for multi-tier devices and only if the volumes of processed products are very large.
Types of electric dryers
Structurally and according to the principle of operation, electric fruit dryers come in four types - heating, convection, infrared, and tablecloth dryers.
Heating dryers
Heating dryers are the simplest in design and the most inexpensive dryers. They simply have a heating element installed, which creates a high temperature. Under its influence, drying of products occurs.
Advantages
- Simple and durable design.
- High power consumption.
Flaws
- High power consumption.
- Deterioration in the taste of the product is the most important drawback of heating dryers. That is why they are practically not represented on the market now.
- They greatly spoil the taste of dried products due to the lack of artificial air convection.
Convection dryers
Convection dryers are the logical development of heating dryers. In addition to the heating element, they have a fan installed, which ensures the movement of hot air. Such dryers are versatile and suitable for almost all products - from fruits to mushrooms or meat.
Advantages
- Natural taste of products;.
- You can dry several different types of food in one device.
- Versatility.
- High drying speed.
Flaws
- High power consumption;
- Hot air can lead to the destruction of some vitamins and other beneficial microelements in fruits.
! However, convection dryers are one of the best options for home use.
Infrared dryers
Infrared dryers affect the products prepared in them with a stream of directed infrared radiation. Therefore, the moisture from vegetables and fruits evaporates, but their color, taste, even in some cases, size and vitamins with useful microelements are preserved.
Infrared dryers are suitable for infrequent home use. They will be an excellent option for people who strive to preserve the excellent taste and healthfulness of their products.
Advantages
- Natural taste of products;
- Preservation of vitamins and nutrients;
- You can dry a wide variety of food types, including at the same time (on some models);
- Preservation of the natural appearance and color of products;
Flaws
- Long drying time (for some products – up to several days);
- Expensiveness of the device;
- Large dimensions of the device;
Drying racks-tablecloths
A tablecloth dryer is one of the options for implementing an infrared dryer. The emitters in it are installed in a flexible, foldable substrate. The products that are planned to be dried are placed on it.
Such dryers are only suitable for products that can easily withstand prolonged exposure to open air. For example, apples may darken when cooked using such a device. But carrots or mushrooms will retain their taste and appearance, so they can be dried on such a tablecloth.
Advantages
- Natural taste, appearance and color of products;
- Relatively low power consumption;
- You can dry different types of products (including simultaneously on large tablecloths);
Flaws
- Very long drying time;
- Relatively low efficiency;
- Take up a lot of space on the table;
Material
The material for the body and pallets is plastic or metal.
Plastic products are lightweight and easy to assemble, disassemble and wash. The outer walls of such devices heat up little, and therefore it is safer to use them. If the plastic is transparent, then the drying process can be observed without disassembling the structure.
If you choose a plastic dryer, be sure to ensure that the material is safe. Ask the store clerk to turn on the equipment. If a strong chemical smell appears, refuse to purchase.
Metal units are more reliable and last longer. There is virtually no chance that internal parts will become deformed from excessive heat exposure. At the same time, the outside units heat up and there is a risk of getting burned. They also have considerable weight. If not properly maintained, rust will appear.
Additional functionality
Among the most practical additional functions of the dryer are:
- The ability to prepare marshmallows is most often realized in horizontal type dryers. The pallets used in them do not have holes.
- But in convection-type dryers, this possibility most often cannot be realized for structural reasons. The holes in the trays are needed to mix the air, and if they are covered with a layer of marshmallow, the device may simply overheat.
- The possibility of drying meat or fish can be realized in both types of dryers. It implies a special temperature regime and a special intensity of air convection. Most often it is implemented “at the software level”.
- The system of supplying hot air directly to the trays speeds up the drying process, but changes the taste of the products. It is designed for quick processing of dishes that “do not cook” - for example, herbs or mushrooms.
- The material of the trays for horizontal type dryers does not change either the drying speed or the taste of the products. Except that plastic trays do not heat up, but are more fragile - but metal ones, on the contrary, heat up, but have the highest mechanical strength.
- Overheat protection is an important feature for a vertical dryer. If for some reason the convection of high temperature between the pallets is disrupted, the heating element may be damaged. Therefore, dryers equipped with this protection are more durable.
- The automatic shut-off timer is a useful feature for experienced dryer users. It allows, for example, to put food for processing overnight, and in the morning you will receive it without being over-dried. However, it is not always possible to “guess” how long it will take to dry a particular dish.
- The ability to adjust the height of the trays is a useful feature if you plan to dry large products. But it is undesirable to do this for the reasons described earlier. Therefore, the practical benefits of adjustment are quite controversial.
Tray capacity and configuration
You should select an electric dryer based on how many workpieces you will process:
- for small volumes, 3 – 5 tiers are enough;
- for storing supplies for the winter, 6–8 trays are enough for a small family;
- If you need to quickly “get rid” of the crop, then it is better to buy a device with 10 – 20 levels.
Depending on the number of tiers and the shape of the unit itself, up to 15 kg of fruit can be dried in one session.
Advice. Place the equipment on a clean surface as it draws air from underneath. If you put it on the floor, all the dirt will end up on the food.
It is very convenient when it is possible to adjust the height of the tray, increasing it as desired. This will allow you to dehydrate supplies in large pieces or whole.
It is very important to pay attention to the appearance of the trays. Whether the device will be convenient to use depends on their configuration:
- the thinner the tray mesh, the more convenient it will be to separate the finished products, since they will stick less;
- if you plan to dry small berries or peas, then take trays with small cells. Some models come with additional trays for these needs;
- for marshmallows you will need a stand without holes.
Which dryer to choose
1. For those who are going to dry a very small amount of fruit, you can get by with an inexpensive infrared tablecloth dryer or a convection apparatus with a plastic body for 2-3 trays. For such devices, a minimum power of 150-200 W is sufficient.
2. For a family of 3-4 people who regularly make small preparations, a convection plastic dryer for 3-5 trays with a lower heating element with a power of 350-600 W is suitable. It is desirable to have at least 3 temperature settings, a timer and overheat protection.
3. For elderly parents living outside the city, it will be more familiar and convenient to use a medium-power convection apparatus with a mechanical control type. A dryer in a plastic case for 5-7 pallets with the ability to install special trays, mandatory protection against power surges and a thermostat will suit them.
4. Fans of healthy eating cannot do without a medium-power infrared unit with a top or side heating element. 5-7 main trays and a couple of special ones will be enough. But the more thermal conditions, the better. If you're not strapped for cash, purchase a stylish and durable model with a metal case. And for those who are looking for a budget option, a device made of high-quality food-grade plastic is suitable.
5. Owners of large personal plots who harvest their own products for future use will like the semi-industrial version of dryers that can hold up to 15-20 trays. Only a high-power convection apparatus of 1000 W or more can handle such volumes. Please note that there are several temperature modes, special trays and the ability to adjust the depth of the pallets. Preference should be given to models with a side-mounted heating element, a timer function and mandatory overheating protection.
Functionality
Any dryer has a number of functions that allow you to optimize the process and tailor it to your requirements:
- thermostat – the temperature range at which dehydration occurs ranges from 30 to 75 ℃. Moreover, it is very important to follow the regime for each product, otherwise there is a risk of getting baked fruits instead of dried ones. The table for drying vegetables and fruits in an electric dryer will tell you which mode to choose for a particular type;
Product | Temperature, ℃ | Drying time, hours |
Hot pepper | 60 | 8 – 14 |
Sweet pepper | 60 | 4 – 14 |
Tomato | 60 | 8 – 24 |
Carrot | 60 – 70 | 8 – 14 |
Greenery | 40 – 50 | 6 – 14 |
Mushrooms | 45 – 70 | 6 – 14 |
Grape | 45 – 70 | 10 – 17 |
Cherry | 70 | 10 – 18 |
Apple | 65 – 70 | 6 – 8 |
Pear | 65 – 70 | 8 – 12 |
Peach | 60 – 70 | 10 – 34 |
Apricot | 60 – 70 | 10 – 16 |
- cooling - in other words, blowing cold air. It is needed to bring semi-finished products to the desired condition without heating;
- preparing marshmallows, dried meat and fish;
- timer - dehydration is a long process, so there is a high risk of not keeping track of the readiness and overcooking the workpieces. To prevent this from happening, it is worth setting a timer that will turn off the operation after a set time.
For safe use, the devices are equipped with:
- protection against overheating - if the temperature reaches an unsafe value, the operation of the device will stop;
- technological hole in the bottom - removes excess moisture from very juicy fruits (for example, cherries) so that it does not flood the heating element.
Operating principle and structure of dryers for vegetables and fruits
A modern vegetable dryer is not much more complicated than grandma’s baking sheet, which had to be exposed to the sun to dry fruits, berries or even meat. It’s just that the moisture in it is evaporated by an electric heater (often paired with a fan).
The device is equipped with several trays for sliced or whole fruits, which are covered with a common lid to maintain the required microclimate and temperature.
To make it work, you need to perform a number of simple steps:
1. Place pre-washed and sliced foods on trays.
2. Install the trays on the device body.
3. Select the desired temperature mode on the control panel and turn on the device.
After this, the built-in heating element will begin to heat the air in the chamber, and the fan will drive it through the holes in the trays, speeding up the drying of the products.
