PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dryer of foods capable of evenly drying foods by providing uniform temperature and air flow over the whole area of foods from planar heating elements in a drying room.SOLUTION: A dryer of foods includes a drying room 110 equipped with trays 113 on which foods are put, a suction part 120 arranged at the front side of the outer peripheral surface of the drying room 110 and an exhaust part 130 arranged at the back side of the outer peripheral surface of the drying room 110 oppositely to the suction part 120 and equipped with an exhaust fan. The dryer further includes planar heating elements 111, 112 to emit far-infrared rays each arranged at the top and bottom of the drying room 110. The vertical distance between the planar heating elements 111 and 112 is 350 mm or more and 600 mm or less.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】乾燥室において面状発熱体により全面の温度および風量が均一化されることで、載置された被乾燥物を同質に乾燥させることが可能な食品用乾燥装置を提供する。【解決手段】被乾燥物を載置する棚113を備える乾燥室110と、乾燥室110の外周面の前面部に設けられる吸気部120と、吸気部120に対向する、乾燥室110の外周面の背面部に設けられる排気ファンを備える排気部130とを有し、乾燥室110の上部および底部には、遠赤外線を照射する面状発熱体111,112がさらに設けられ、乾燥室110の上部および底部に設けた面状発熱体111,112は、高さ350mm以上600mm以下離間している。【選択図】図1
