Disclosed herein are an apparatus, method and system for drying and/or curing perishable items that degrade in the presence of oxygen and/or humidity. The apparatus comprises a treatment chamber and an exposure chamber, which are connected by insulated conduits. The connected chambers create an airtight enclosure that confines an airtight volume of air. The treatment chamber comprises an UV light array, which converts ambient oxygen trapped within the airtight enclosure into ozone, and an air conditioning unit that precisely controls the internal temperature and humidity. The exposure chamber receives the perishable items and comprises fans that circulate the treated volume of air through the conduits and around the UV light array and perishable items to optimize drying and/or curing. The apparatus is network connected to allow for remote control and monitoring and sends alerts to web applications or mobile applications when monitored parameters substantially vary from their settings.
