Tray size

Horizontal dimensions of one dryer tray.

For round models, this paragraph usually indicates the diameter (for example, “Ø250”), for other cases — the length and width. Anyway, the information about the size allows you to estimate the total area and, accordingly, the capacity of the device. At the same time, note that a larger size affects the dimensions and weight of the structure, and also requires more heating power (ceteris paribus).

Tray height

The size of one tray of the dryer in height. In models where, instead of separate trays, a common working chamber with removable shelves is provided, the distance between two adjacent shelves is indicated.

This size primarily determines the thickness of individual pieces of vegetables, fruits, etc., which can be placed in the device. At the same time, note that the contents should not fill the tray tightly — there should be at least a couple of millimetres of space between the products and the “ceiling”. Also note that in some models, two height values can be indicated in this paragraph — for example, “15 — 25 mm”. This means that the size of the trays can be changed, adjusting them to the specifics of the situation; usually it is a choice between two standard heights (in our example — 15 mm and 25 mm).

Tray for marshmallow

Availability of a tray for a marshmallow in a set of delivery of the dryer.

Such a device differs from ordinary trays in the design of the bottom — it is solid, without openings. This is due to the fact that the raw material for the preparation of marshmallows is fruit puree, which simply would not have stayed on the classic grating bottom. Most often, there is only one tray for marshmallows, however, in some models it may be possible to purchase additional trays of this type.

We emphasize that it is undesirable to use such accessories for more traditional ingredients (pieces of vegetables, fruits, etc.): in some cases this reduces the drying efficiency, in others it can lead to damage to the contents.
