Kuyambira nthawi zakale, anthu akhala akuzoloŵera kugwiritsa ntchito magwero a kutentha kwachilengedwe ndi mpweya wabwino wachilengedwe kuti ziume, zoletsedwa kwathunthu ndi zachilengedwe zomwe zimapangitsa kuti pakhale zokolola zochepa. Ndi chitukuko cha kupanga, njirazi pang'onopang'ono m'malo mwa kupanga ankalamulira kutentha magwero ndi makina mpweya dehumidification.
Zowumitsira zamakono poyambilira zinkagwiritsa ntchito zowumitsira zowumitsira pabedi nthawi zina, zokhazikika-zokhazikika. M'kati mwa-zaka za m'ma 1800, kugwiritsa ntchito zowumitsira mumphangayo kunachititsa kuti pakhale kusintha kwapakatikati kupita kukugwira ntchito mosalekeza. Zowumitsira ng'oma zozungulira zimasokoneza bwino zida za tinthu tating'onoting'ono, ndikuwonjezera kuyanika komanso kulimba. Mafakitale ena adapanga zowumitsira mosalekeza zogwirizana ndi zomwe akufuna, monga zowumitsa ng'oma m'makampani opanga nsalu ndi mapepala.
Kumayambiriro kwa zaka za m'ma 1900, zowumitsira zopopera mankhwala zinayamba kugwiritsidwa ntchito popanga mkaka, zomwe zinapereka chida champhamvu kwambiri{1}}choumitsa zinthu zambiri zamadzimadzi. Kuyambira cha m’ma 1940, ndi chitukuko cha ukadaulo wa fluidization, high-intention, high-productivity fluidized bed and airflow dryer zidayamba. Freeze-sublimation, radiation, ndi zoumitsira dielectric zidapereka njira zatsopano zokwaniritsira zofunikira zenizeni. Kutali-zowumitsira ma infrared ndi ma microwave zidayamba kupangidwa mu 1960s.
