Abstract
Apparatus is provided which accomplishes the drying of wet cafeteria or the like trays without benefit of heat and with low energy consumption. Wet trays are presented to the apparatus and conveyed through it one-at-a-time, bottom side up, and in such a manner that the leading side edge of the wet tray is at an angle less than normal to the tray's direction of travel. The wet tray while passing through the apparatus is subjected, top and bottom, to high velocity air which strips the water from the tray, the water being then discharged from the system.
