A rotatable hollow drum for a dehydrator has an inlet at one end and an outlet at the other end. A longitudinal shaft extends axially from one end of the drum to the other. A plurality of circumferentially-spaced, longitudinally extending flights are mounted to the inner side of the hollow drum. A plurality of circumferentially-spaced flights is also mounted to the shaft with each of these flights also extending along the shaft. The flights on both the drum and shaft uniquely comprise a plurality of tines which may have their ends bent, at progressively increasing angles, for intercepting, turning, separating and enhancing the conveyance of pieces of material being dried in the dehydrator as the pieces travel from one end to the other as the dehydrator rotates. This action promotes constant movement of the material in the dehydrator to provide uniform drying of individual pieces while reducing the likelihood of blockage caused by the accumulation of pieces. |
