vanized iron. The furnace front and 

 back is made of heavy cast iron and the 

 body of the furnace of heavy sheet iron. 

 The evaporator is so constructed that 

 the currents of heated air which arise 

 from the furnace pass through and 

 around the fresh products, not only 

 from the bottom, hut from the sides 

 also. 



To secure a well finished product it is 

 necessary to have a good distribution of 

 air throughout the evaporator. This 

 evaporator is so constructed that there 

 is an even distribution of hot air over 

 each tray of fruit, which insures uni- 

 form drying of the products. The fruits 

 and vegetables evaporated in this hot 

 air evaporator were exceptionally tine 

 in every respect. The results secured 

 are shown in the table following:

Steam Evaporator. 



In communities where there are not 

 sufficient products grown to justify the 

 construction of a large commercial 

 evaporator, the small steam cabinet 

 evaporator could be used to advantage. 

 This is particularly true in a locality 

 where there is already a small cannery 

 in operation, for the boiler could be 

 used for both purposes. These steam 

 cabinet evaporators are very popular at 

 the present time in parts of New York 

 and Canada. When properly constructed 

 they give entire satisfaction.

 ferent products evaporated, the weight 

 after evaporation, the length of time to 

 evaporate and the temperature main-

 you might give it a second thought. And
