July 5, 1879.] MINING AND SC IENTIFIC GeRESS. 13
Butts’ Fruit, Vegetable and Hop Drier.
The enormous and centinually inereasing demand fer canned and dried California fruits,
and tho productien of availahle quantities, lias
aroused the inventive facnlties in the direction
of economical and perfect processes for supplying the market, Mr. Wm. Butts, scutheast
corner Spear and Mission streets, S, F., is the
patentee cf a fruit, vegetable and hop drier,
which scems werthy the attention ef manufactnrers and farmers. The Butts drier is builtin
sections, each of which is complete iu itself and
of a capacity of 1,500 to 2,000 pounds per day,
all the sections are precisely the same cut of
lumber, and to any person desiring a large drier,
several scctious are placed together. Put
together with screws, the apparatus is se arranged as to be casily taken apart and transported to any distance in a portable shape.
The fruit is-placed in the dricr upon a series
of trays, and the drying heat conveyed to the
whole interior cr to any particular tray by
simple valves or dampers regulated at pleasure
from the outside by nieansof a uuiform key.
By means of these valves, easily regulated, the
fruit, when ready for packing, necd not he
removed from the drier, but may remain for
any length of time, without deterioration,
until necessary te be removed to give room for
a fresh supply, the drying heat being shut
off, This feature, it is claimed, is different from
other driers, and the i inconveniences of ever-drying, ete., entirely avoided; saving the labor of
handling mevable trays and. econoroy in the
fruit by securing uniformity “of appearance and
quality, The fruit dues uot require any manipulation by acids, ete., before, or any sorting
after drying, it is put into the drier in its
natural state, preserves its color without oxidatien, and cemes from the drier speedily, ready
for immediate packing, shipment or storage.
The apparatus is self-ventilating, and all the
moist air arising from the fruit is carriel off
immediately and perfectly. It is also claimed
that 160° of heat in this process will aceomdish
the same results as 300° in cthers, and with
better results, brought about by 2 peculiar
arrangement of side drafts all nnder control from
the eutside,
In the drying of heps this process is peculiarly
valnable, as it has practically succeeded in the
difficult task of drying heps without destreying
their qualities by over-drying er inducing incipient fermentatien by imperfect drying. The
hop drier now being successfully used by Orrin
Howell at Hopland, Mendocino county, is said
to bea visible preof ef the claims of the iuventer.
Another feature of Mr. Butts’ apparatus is a
frnit '‘canner.” In the canner, the fruit is put
into the cans raw and sealed, then placed iu
trays, carrying say 150 pounds each, easily
handled, and cooked. It would seem practicable for all of our fruit raiscra to utilize their
surplus fruits either by drying er canning, thus
making them more marketable and eommand a
better price than in a crude atate. Several
farmers could combine i in the matter, and as
frnit drying and canning is no longer an experiment hut, when wisely managed, an actual
Ereiabe investment, there could net be any
anger ef failure to realize pecuniary benetits.
Specimens of fruits, vegetables, meats, fish, etc.,
dried by this procesa can be seen by calling
upon Mr. Butts, and their appearance and
qnality would seem to justify his claims,
