| Food Dryers |  Food dryers are food roasting, baking and drying machine operators, who operate equipment that reduces the moisture content of food and tobacco while preparing food for packaging. Their duties are to process canned foods. Their places of work are special places used for food processing and preservation. They work about 40 hours a week.
Food dryers should obtain such skills as good coordination and depth perception, adequate physical strength and the ability to find the difference between colors. Frequently, a health certificate is demanded.
Minimal or no training is demanded to get a job as a food roasting, baking and drying machine operator. The training can be formal or informal and its duration can differ from one month to a year, depending on the difficulty of the tasks. Training includes the observation of the work of other experienced workers, who operate different kinds of equipment. Those workers, who want to obtain supervisory or management positions, should have more training.
The amount of food roasting, baking and drying machine operators will increase up to year 2012. With the development of automated cooking technology, more workers will be engaged at the manufacturing level.
