The machine is operable for continuously extracting moisture or dehydrating
food. A plurality of food tray are insertable into a main chamber having
an air diffuser mounted on one side and an air collector on the opposite
side. Air is drawn through the chamber by a blower. Heat is applied to the
food by heater element incorporated at the underside of the food trays.
Dampers are located at the air inlet and air exhaust ducts, which may be
monitored and adjusted by temperature and moisture sensors for maintaining
a selected temperature and moisture condition to extract the moisture
content of the food to a desirable condition. The processed food may be
retrieved from the machine while a new tray of food is being placed into
the chamber.
