Today I decided to make a Dehydrator .... Fortunately, the Internet is full of ideas, having rummaged in the net, the idea was found. Today I will tell you how to assemble a food dryer on your knee. I need it for drying meat and sausages, you can dry fish, fruits, mushrooms, socks in it, as well as various usefulness.
To begin with, we will purchase a box with a lid, I used a box 40 wide, 40 deep and 60 long, a threaded rod for M8, a grill for an exhaust hood, nuts-washers and a fan. We drill holes with a diameter of 9 mm. We cut the hairpin into 5 parts and install it in the holes. Fasten with nuts and washers. Trying on the grill for the hood in the far corner of the lid. And we cut it. But we use the fan for the van, forced draft. Cut out a hole for the fan and drill holes for the fasteners. And at the output we get just such a Construction.

Well? You can dry everything that you want in it.
Do you need heating? Add a reptile heating mat to the structure.
You feel hot? Freeze water in plastic bottles, fill the box with them and you will be provided with air conditioning for the night.
Dry the mushrooms? Replace the rods with removable grates.

Well, a very useful thing.
In time, the assembly took a couple of hours.
For 2500 money, do not forget that these are CRIMEAN prices, but it can be cheaper.

Indeed, it is very simple ... who have their hands in place I think there will be many people who want to repeat this box
And for sausage - it's better not to come up with

For money 2500,
a ready-made sweatshirt with pallets costs the same and without problems, and if you need volume, you can build a cylinder from something = bend a plastic sheet, or even some kind of metal thread, or there is already a cylinder suitable in diameter and height, and on the finished dryer put, this is what I mean - and if Uncle Zakhariya is not in the house

My friends are here as you behave for yourself. I do not pretend to save in cost, although it depends on where to buy.

Hairpin 1 meter long at a price of 40 rubles. Washers for 3 rubles and nuts for 2.5 rubles. Cable with a plug for 110 rubles.

I am transferring my message here
Zachary, my husband did such a thing a long time ago, instead of a shower fan he cut in a computer one, it also pulls well. I cut out the outlet holes on the wall opposite from the fan, several small ones the size of a penny, we close them with pieces of foam rubber. We constantly dry fish, sometimes sausage.

Irsha, our dryer was cheaper, they paid only for the container itself, everything else was already on the farm.
Zachary, I really like your dryer with these pins with nuts and washers, I will ask my Pretzel to remake, because my knitting needles sometimes pop out when tilted.

And in winter, on the bottom of the water, on the hairpins, pieces of fabric, dipping their ends into the water - and the air humidifier is ready!

Natasha, we are still in the winter in this thing

Zhen, you have an eternal summer in Crimea, even in winter there is something to dry, but we have winter too))) So you need to moisturize.)) But in general, the design is, of course, very necessary.

Thank you for such an innovation-invention !!!
Zachary! WELL DONE!!!
I have already found who will make a dryer for me, but here's a question for all the accomplices: where to buy such a large box. The maximum that I have seen before is about 35 cm along the longest edge.
Were still in stores 50cm, but low, which are placed under the bed.
But it should be like in the picture.

At least a tip about where, in which network to buy.

I saw lerois-merlin in ikea in obi, but they, of course, are not food. So the question is whether this is critical. That is, do you need to take food grade plastic or can you use any?
Most importantly, I forgot to say THANKS for the idea. And it's funny even to tell how my husband dried fish :)
mur_myau
nvanna,
Polypropylene?
These boxes are almost all of it. Okay, we carry different things from Ikea, I will order.
Thanks for the tip.

Zachary, I want to make a box myself, tell me which fan (brand) to buy. There is a box, skewers and nuts with bolts. And thanks a lot for the idea.

A forced draft fan is common in bathrooms. Sold in any plumbing store. They all have the same power.

Well, take the report. We did it with my husband, but instead of hooks, clothespins for curtains (the extra ones were lying around):
