Commercial Capacity, Two Independent Zones

32 stainless steel mesh trays give you 5.12 square metres of total drying area, enough to dehydrate at genuine commercial rates. The unit is split into 2 independent zones, each with its own 96 litre chamber, so you can run two different products at two different settings at the same time.

Precise Control, Set And Forget

Set an exact temperature from 15°C to 90°C in 1 degree increments, or switch to Ambient Air Mode to dry at room temperature. The 99 hour digital timer and memory function let you save your preferred time and temperature settings, so you can start a batch and walk away with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 2 independent zones mean?

The dehydrator is split into two separate 96 litre chambers, each with its own controls. You can run two different products at two different temperatures and times in the same unit at once.

Do I need to rotate the trays while drying?

No. The horizontal forced air convection system reaches all 32 trays evenly, so food dries on both sides without needing to be rotated or turned during the cycle.

What is Ambient Air Mode?

It runs the fan without adding heat, drying at room temperature. It suits foods that need gentle airflow rather than warmth, or a lower energy option when you do not need the full heated cycle.

What is the power requirement, and do I need an electrician?

This unit draws up to 3.75kW on 220 to 240V and needs a single phase 20A safety breaker. It is supplied with a 3 wire cable and no plug tip, so it should be connected by a licensed electrician.

Is this dehydrator certified for commercial use?

Yes. It is UL and NSF certified and built from 100% stainless steel for ongoing, everyday commercial operation.

What is the difference between the standard unit and the With Biltong Bundle option?

The standard option is the dehydrator only, with 32 mesh trays and 2 drip pans. The With Biltong Bundle option adds the biltong hook and rack accessory kit, so you can hang meat for biltong alongside standard tray drying.

Do you offer a price match guarantee?

Yes. Found it cheaper elsewhere? Let us know and we will do our best to beat it.
