Evaporating Plant Design Described with Kiln Details
The article outlines an evaporating plant layout with a furnace room 14 by 10 feet and a smaller work room for apple preparation. An upright bleacher doubles as an elevator to the second floor, where a kiln holds 73 to 100 bushels of fruit per filling. The second room divides in a elm pie way, and the upper work area includes a circulating dryer. The construction aims for a versatile building usable beyond the evaporator function.
