dehydrator
Moisture removal appliance
A dehydrator is an appliance that removes moisture from food to preserve it.
Sliced fruits, vegetables, and meats go in; dried snacks and jerky come out.
The device circulates warm air across stacked trays, drawing water out slowly without cooking: I made banana chips in the dehydrator.
Industrial dehydrators serve similar functions at larger scale.
