Drying tray, also called pallet or baking tray, is a tool for holding materials inside drying ovens, generally made of metal. In industrial production, drying trays are seldom used independently; they are installed and operated together with drying cabinets, vacuum ovens and other equipment. Widely applied in pharmaceutical, chemical, food, agricultural and sideline product industries, drying trays are mainly made of two materials: stainless steel and aluminum alloy (a small number are iron‑made trays with enamel coated on outer surfaces).

Drying tray, also called pallet or baking tray, is a tool for holding materials inside drying ovens, generally made of metal. In industrial production, drying trays are seldom used independently; they are installed and operated together with drying cabinets, vacuum ovens and other equipment.
Widely applied in pharmaceutical, chemical, food, agricultural and sideline product industries, drying trays are mainly made of two materials: stainless steel and aluminum alloy (a small number are iron‑made trays with enamel coated on outer surfaces).
According to structural styles, they are divided into solid trays and perforated trays.
According to manufacturing processes, they fall into hand‑fabricated trays and one‑step press‑formed drying trays.
Among all types above, one‑step press‑formed drying trays are the most commonly used. Their typical dimension is 640*460*45 mm, pressed and formed in one piece from stainless steel or aluminum alloy. Featuring smooth corners and flanged edges all around, they allow thorough cleaning and convenient handling, hence widely adopted in production.
Suitable for powdery, liquid, granular, strip‑shaped, flaky and loose materials.
