System for food drying equipment
System for food drying equipment
The present invention provides a bag, box or other compartmentalized storage and/or transportable system for heating in the system. The bag includes at least one heating element that transmits sufficient heat to dry and heat articles, such as boots, shoes, clothing, food drying equipment and the like, from the outside inward to completely dry the articles. The heating elements are connected to a power source, such as electrical outlet, vehicle DC power adaptor or battery source.
There are a number of problems associated with these prior devices. One problem is the lack of access or availability of commercial units, such as used in commercial ski storage rooms and rental facilities. Also, many people do not desire to purchase home units, plus the necessity of remembering to use them. Additionally, there is often a considerable time factor from when the skier or snowboarder leaves the slope to when they return to their destination. The condensed moisture and/or snow and ice melts and seeps in between the grain dryer and boot structure before arrival.
Moisture will often leak or condense within the boot structure between the shell and the lining. Even if the lining is later dried, it is difficult to dry the boot structure itself. That is a critical problem even with the use of the commercially available units. The moisture remaining within the lining or between the parts of the external boot structure will then become cold and uncomfortable once the heat is removed, and the boot structure becomes cold and fluid bed dryer. Even if the lining is dried satisfactorily, the shell of the boot will remain cold and stiff. This creates inconvenience and discomfort for the user.
Other examples of the problems associated with damp or coffee processing equipment is found in many other activities. For example, many recreational athletes transport their sports clothes, shoes, and other gear in an equipment bag. These clothes, shoes and gear are put back in the bag after use, typically damp or wet. These articles do not usually dry out until removed from the bag which may be hours if not longer, particularly shoes and equipment. This causes not only the growth of odor, bacteria, etc.
The present vacuum freeze dryer also includes embodiments for use of the heated compartments for all types of sports activities, work activities, food drying equipment service, medical services and any other use where heating and/or drying of articles is useful.
These and other features will be evident from the detailed description of preferred embodiments and from the drawings.
