Finally, place the food inside each layer of the placement plate 51 for drying. After drying, take out the food, activate the hydraulic rod 22, pull the two connecting plates 41 to move towards each other, so that the connecting plates 41 are separated from the ends of the placement plate 51. Then, open the water supply pipe 62, and the cleaning liquid inside the water storage tank 61 is sprayed out from the nozzle 63 through the water supply pipe 62 to rinse the surface of the placement plate 51. The sewage falls onto the filter plate 71 through the ends of the placement plate 51. The liquid is stored in the water tank 72 through the filter plate 71, and the residue slides down the surface of the filter plate 71 into the impurity storage tank 73 for storage.
