Dried fruits and vegetables are a storehouse of vitamins and pectins. So, if you make a supply of them in the summer, you can enjoy all these gifts of nature in the winter. Of course, you can buy fresh vegetables and fruits in the store, because today this is not a problem, but a large number of summer residents try to make their harvest last until winter, preserving or drying it. So, let's look at several design options in which drying can be done. By the way, we add that a do-it-yourself dryer for vegetables and fruits is a reality.
It should be noted that today summer residents use three types of dryers, which are based on different drying principles.

It is not difficult to make a fruit dryer with your own hands. Any design resembling a box is suitable for this. For example, it can be a cabinet from a kitchen set or an element of a wardrobe, you can make it from a refrigerator or a hob, or rather, from its oven. And you can assemble a box from improvised materials: plywood, chipboard, fiberboard and so on.
Let's look at a homemade dryer. This will require four identical sheets, for example, plywood, wooden slats with a section of 30x30 and 20x20 mm, self-tapping screws, a mosquito net.

Dryer manufacturing scheme
A solar fruit dryer is an energy-saving option. Electricity or other type of fuel is not used here. But there is one point in this design, on which the efficiency of the process depends. This is the angle of inclination of the entire installation relative to the sun. That is, the sun's rays should maximally cover the volume in which vegetables or fruits are located.
Therefore, an ordinary box without a lid is assembled first. This is still the same wooden frame, finished with plywood or other sheets. Now this box must be installed at an angle, placing it on legs made of the same timber as the frame of the dryer. To understand what we are talking about, look at the photo below.
Now we need to make the shelves. They are made in the same way as in the case of the fan model. The main thing is to correctly install the guides under them in the box itself. Reiki should be stuffed horizontally.
In principle, everything is ready. You can install shelves in the dryer and lay out chopped gifts of nature on them.
