<p>1. An apparatus for drying fruit or vegetable slices or pieces comprises a plurality of superimposed elongated baths (2, 3, 4) for receiving an osmotic fluid, in particular sugar syrup. Overflow channels (6, 11, 16) supply fluid to the baths. Through overflows (8, 13) fluid is discharged from the baths. A cutting machine (25) supplies fruit or vegetable slices or pieces to the first bath (2) near one end thereof. Near the opposite end a pusher plate (27) discharges the fruit or vegetable slices or pieces from the first bath (2) and into the next bath (3) and so on. Conveying devices (37, 41, 45) continuously convey the fruit or vegetable slices or pieces through the baths (2, 3, 4) from the cutting machine (25) to a last pusher plate (47) at the end of the last bath (4). i</p> |
