Perfect for butcher shops, specialty stores, and health food stores, this unit allows you to dry out your most popular jerky, granola, fruits, pasta, and vegetables! Providing guests with delicious sweet and salty snacks has never been easier.
With a temperature range of 86 to 167 degrees Fahrenheit, you'll be able to dry a wide variety of foods with differing drying condition requirements. Meanwhile, the 24 hour timer allows you to multitask with confidence knowing that your savory snacks are being prepared perfectly. Boasting an attractive stainless steel interior and exterior, this durable dehydrator features 24 removable, stainless steel 15 3/4" x 14 15/16" racks, making cleanup a breeze. The ample size also allows for high-capacity product preparation. Plus, the dehydrator is equipped with a clear glass door that is not only attractive, but also allows for a convenient view of the products as they dry. This machine requires a 120V electrical connection.

It works and hits the temps it says. That said, the buttons are very cheaply made and I expect them to break. They feel like capacitive buttons and they have a tendency to not register touch. The machine is not intended to be plugged in expect when in use. The power button flashes whenever it is plugged in and not in use which, inevitably will burn it out especially with how intensely bright the display and all the lights. If you have a shaky floor, the racks will rattle very loudly whenever someone walks so ideally, keep on a concrete floor. Overall, it is a cheap but functional dehydrator that I dont imagine will last more than a couple of years of intense use like on my farm. I wish it were made with analog controls.
I'm not one to really leave reviews online but after seeing this product receive a 1 star review from someone, I sort of felt obliged to do so.For starters, the 1 star review notes that it feels like a cheap product - I wholeheartedly disagree. The dehydrator is an all stainless steel construction, which makes clean up easy and ensures the product will last a long time. They also note that the door hinges have trouble closing -which I didn't experience at all; The door opens and closes with ease and the latch functions as intended to keep the door closed. They note that the power chord was defective - again, my power chord works as intended. My only qualm is that the chord is somewhat short but who needs 4-8ft of cable for a product that sits on the counter - I'd say it's sufficient but could be longer.To me, it sounds like the dehydrator might of been damaged in shipping for the person who left a 1 star review. Meaning, is it on Avantco or the shipper, Mary? I'd wager to say the latter.Now onto stuff that actually matters.A big issue you'll find with a lot of dehydrators is that they're simply inadequate and can't reach the temperatures they specify. Ie. they state they can reach 158F but they actually reach 120-130F.Rather, when I use dehydrators I like to ensure they're hitting the temperatures they state. To test I used a calibrated Thermoworks X4 temperature probe to measure the ambient temperature within the dehydrator. I then set the dehydrator to 176F.What this dehydrator does is power cycle (which is pretty common for electric devices featuring a heating element) and it will over and undershoot within a specified temperature. For example in my attached photos I set the dehydrator to 176F, it overshot to 178.5F before correcting and then undershot to 174.6F before correcting; Meaning it's accurate to +/- 2.5F which is great.So we have a dehydrator that's all stainless steel, and capable of reaching the temperatures it states.Show me another dehydrator with similar features at the same price point.
I purchased the Avantco 12 tray dehydrator. It has a handle on top that makes it easy to pick up and it's not too heavy for me either. It fits on my counter and comes just under my upper cabinets. It's very quiet. It has screws on the back so the fan is accessible if you need to work on it. It also has screws on the inside shelves so if you made a mess you could remove everything from the inside if necessary. I bought this unit because I liked the lower temperature (86 degrees). I've dehydrated seeds, green onions, leeks, jalapenos, habaneros, herbs, and bananas. My only complaint is that instead of going up a degree at a time, it jumps a few degrees at a time and I would just like to be able to pick a more precise temperature. Other than that, very pleased with this purchase.

Yes all of our dehydrators come with 304 food-grade stainless steel mesh trays as well as a stainless steel drip tray at the bottom of each zone. Additional mesh trays or pan trays may be purchased on top of this. The mesh trays that come with the unit cannot be substituted for pan trays. You may also purchase non-stick mats from our accessories section if desired.
Please visit our batch calculator tool and fill out the form to figure out which of our machines would be best to suit your production needs. You can always figure out how much of your product you can dehydrate by taping out the tray size on your countertop, laying the product out as you would on a tray, and then weighing the product and multiplying it by the number of trays in the unit.
The Warranty Period for Commercial and Industrial Dehydrators, as well as their accessories, is 5 years from the original date of purchase. Individual Dehydrator Parts purchased are not covered by warranty unless they are received through a warranty claim on a previously purchased product.

This industrial food dryer is able to work in a continuous (trolleys coming in and out one by one) and discontinuous (batches of several trolleys at a time) production pace, easily adaptable to client needs.
The user can adapt the consumption of the electrical source by modifying the air velocity of the fan in the chamber, according to the needs of the product. When the heated air, after passing through the product, still has a drying potential, the F-50 technology detects it and is reused. When the air is discarded into the environment, it is elevated in temperature. It may therefore be used to preheat the incoming cool air, thereby increasing the energy efficiency of the machine and reducing the consumption of fuel.
The drying temperature is a critical variable. Its adjustment is essential for the proper drying of each particular product or food. The F-50 industrial dehydrator allows the dehydration temperature set point to be stationary during the process.
By means of the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), it is possible to know the psychrometric properties of the air at various locations of the aeraulic circuit, in addition to the weight of the product in real time. The user can control and act on the most important variables during the process of dehydration.
