How to Use Tray Dryer?

• Preheat the Tray Dryer: Before using the tray dryer, preheat it to the desired temperature. This is usually done by turning on the heating system and setting the temperature to the required level.
• Load the Trays: Once the tray dryer is preheated, load the trays with the material to be dried. Make sure to spread the material evenly on the trays to ensure uniform drying.
• Set the Timer: Set the timer on the tray dryer to the desired time. The drying time will depend on the type and quantity of material being dried.
• Adjust the Temperature: Check the temperature of the tray dryer periodically and adjust it as needed to ensure that the material is drying at the desired rate.
• Monitor the Drying Process: Monitor the drying process by checking the moisture content of the material periodically. This can be done using a moisture meter or by weighing the material before and after drying.
• Unload the Trays: Once the material is dry, unload the trays from the tray dryer and allow them to cool before handling.
• Clean the Tray Dryer: After use, clean the tray dryer to ensure that it is free from any remaining material or debris.
