8 Trolley / 240 - 480 Tray / 70.7 - 141.3m² Total tray area
Our IU-08 Premium Industrial Dehydrator/Oven can be operated 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year! These dehydrators are customisable to suit your requirements.
- The layer height for the carts can be modified to increase dehydrator capacity. This is done by reducing the gap between each layer allowing more trays per cart. Each layer of the cart holds two of our industrial trays (64 x 46cm) (e.g. A 15-layer cart holds 30 trays)
- There are 4 standard tray options for the Industrial range of dehydrators (304 Stainless Steel Pan, Perforated, Mesh, and Fine Mesh). Alternatively, contact an industrial specialist if you require custom-made trays for your industrial unit.
- This model has a temperature range from ambient - 120°C.
