Auto Dryer for Fresh-Cut Produce

The redesigned Auto Dryer removes surface water from fresh-cut produce while enabling continuous line flow. Available in one-, two- and four-drum models, the system offers new controls, a new motor and a new structure that improves the dynamic operating condition. This product removes moisture from fresh-cut produce gently and consistently to enhance product quality and extend shelf life. The system achieves fully automated, uninterrupted loading and unloading. The product handles from 1,100 to 3,000 lb (500 to 1360 kg) of product per hour per drum, depending on the product. The unit effectively dries a wide variety of fresh-cut produce including baby leaf and cut leaf lettuce, cabbage, spinach, carrots, onions, peppers, whole green beans, herbs, and more.
