There are several ways to make fresh tomatoes lose most of their water contents,such as sun drying outdoors,dehydration,microwave drying,hot air drying chamber. Then how to make dried tomatoes? Which is the best solution? Let'’s have the comparison and analysis.
1. Sun drying: Sun drying is the most common way to dry tomatoes. How to dry tomatoes by the sun ? First, you need to prepare cheesecloth to cover them to ensure bugs and dust cannot get at them, And drying tomatoes in 100°F heat with little humidity is ideal,which is dfficult to get under natural conditions.Generally,it takes one or two days to dry tomatoes.

4.Hot air circulation oven:No matter what method you use, making dried tomatoes requires two things: consistent heat and air circulation.Hot air circulation oven is the suitable equipment of tomato dryer machine. It adopts hot air circulation drying with high temperature resistant axial flow fan and automatic temperature control system.Most hot air is circled inside the oven,and the drying process in hot air tomato drying machine is high heat efficiency and energy saving.Moreover,hot air drying oven is designed for small-scale,medium scale and large scale.You can choose accordingly for making dried tomatoes. Characterized by successful design and the application of advanced technology, hot air tomato drying equipment is widely used in the market.
