Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for drying produce and small parts or pieces utilizing a fluid flow, typically air, through passages in a treatment member, and that is well suited for use in association with the drying of small fruit (i.e. blueberry, strawberry, blackberry, etc.). The dryer apparatus includes a frame, a treatment member, and a fluid supply member. The treatment member holds the items while the fluid supply member directs fluid through the treatment member and into contact with the small parts or pieces. The treatment member may be a flexible belt which is passed along a plurality of rollers. Advantageously, the fluid supply member can be controlled so that the small parts or pieces rotate or lift off the treatment member thereby exposing multiple surfaces thereof to the fluid.
