Abstract:
Food drying is an important procedure for dehydrating vegetables and fruits and keeping
them suitable for consumption at any time of year, especially outside of the harvesting and
picking season. It's also a procedure for keeping these materials from decaying and spoiling
owing to moisture. This is the project's basic concept: to design a machine that automatically
dries vegetables and fruits by removing moisture. This could be accomplished by placing
vegetables or fruits in this machine and subjecting them to a specific atmospheric condition for a
set period of time, known as a dehydration cycle, in which the temperature and air velocity are
changed during the dehydration process. The advantages of adopting such a machine include
increased production, the elimination of human errors in dehydration quality, and the protection
of the material from environmental side effects or actors such as dust, dew, and rain. The
proposed design is prototyping-friendly and can dehydrate 3 kg of material, but it can also be
scaled up for businesses or large production
