Industrial-Scale Drying Capacity

Two stainless steel trolleys each hold 30 to 60 trays depending on your chosen layer height, giving 17.7 to 35.3 square metres of combined tray area. A horizontal forced-air convection system moves roughly 21,300 cubic metres of air per hour per trolley, 42,600m³/hr in total, so there's no need to rotate trays or trolleys mid-cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the lead time on this unit?

This unit is manufactured to order. Please allow approximately 12 to 16 weeks for build and delivery. Standard domestic shipping is included in the listed price.

Does tray type affect the price?

No. Mesh, fine mesh, perforated pan, and flat pan trays are all the same price. Only your trolley tray height selection, which changes the number of trays and the spacing between them, affects the price.

Can I run two different products at once?

Both trolleys in this unit run the same drying program at the same time, rather than as independent zones. Get in touch with our industrial team if you need a zoned setup for two different products simultaneously.

Does the unit include trays?

Yes. Each trolley comes with its full set of 304 food-grade stainless steel trays, plus a built-in stainless steel drip tray. Additional trays can be purchased separately.

Is this unit suitable for round-the-clock operation?

Yes. It's engineered to run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year for high-volume production environments.
