We have developed an easy-to-assemble, large-capacity fruit dryer that will produce three bushels of dried fruit in 24 hours. Our dryer enables farm marketers to participate in the lucrative dried fruit market, increasing their product line and profitability. Our fruit dryer is powered by a 5000 W milk house heater, uses readily available building materials and can be assembleed in less than 2 days at an overall cost of $250. Complete construction plans along with easy-to-follow, detailed instructions are available for $10.
