Frequently Asked Questions

What does 3 independent zones mean?

The dehydrator is split into three separate 63 litre chambers, each with its own controls, so you can run different products at different temperatures and times in the same unit at once.

What is the difference between the Standard and Biltong Bundle configurations?

The Standard configuration includes the dehydrator with 30 mesh trays and 3 drip pans. The Biltong Bundle configuration adds 3 stainless steel biltong racks and 90 stainless steel butcher hooks so you can hang meat for biltong alongside standard tray drying.

Do I need to rotate the trays while drying?

No. The horizontal forced air convection system reaches all 30 trays evenly, so food dries without needing to be rotated during the cycle.

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.

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