Santiam Commercial Tray / Tunnel Dehydrator (7,870 Sq Ft)

This 40-foot-long industrial dehydrator from Commercial Dehydrator Systems (product Santiam) is a powerhouse of dehydrating capacity yet is compact enough to ship anywhere inside a standard 40-foot shipping container. Quick installation will immediately provide you with 7,870 square feet of prime drying acreage with stainless steel trays (less with plastic trays), using the state-of-the-art tray-and-dolly system. Manufactured by the Commercial Dehydrator Systems, a leader in large-scale industrial drying since the 1911, this Santiam dehydrator has rugged stainless steel walls and a roof that’s full insulated in order to ensure precise humidity and temperature control. Your workers will monitor tunnel temperatures via LED displays (max operating temp is 220F (104C). Fine-tune your customized production protocols - the Santiam will do counter-flow, parallel-flow, batch and batch-to-dry dehydration protocols. The system’s powerful burner (choose propane or natural gas) generates approximately a million BTUs and the tunnel’s 20 Hp fan keeps the heated air circulating uniformly and consistently. Standard dolly trays are stainless steel (34.5" x 34.5"), providing a total dehydrating area of 7870 sq. ft.; plastic trays are an option, although they provide less total drying space (6893 sq. ft).
