Excalibur dehydrators are recommended by the world renowned Hippocrates Health Institute and are highly regarded by the raw food community because of their adjustable temperature and are now backed with a 5 year warranty. A dehydration guide with recipes and tips is included with every food dehydrator. See here for
more information on food dehydrating and food dehydrators.
The 5 tray 4500 model has a 5" fan and heating element mounted on the rear wall. Cool, dry air is sucked in through the back of the food dryer, heated up and then evenly distributed across each tray as shown in the diagram. During the dehydration process, the warm air removes the moisture from the food and this moist air is pushed out through the front and replaced with dry air from the back. Horizontal airflow provides even drying, eliminating the need for rotation of the trays during dehydrating.
Drying is fast and very little heat is lost as the Excalibur dehydrator doesn’t need to be taken apart to change the tray sequence during the dehydrating process, simply remove the front door and slide out the required tray. Each tray can be removed making space for larger items such as whole fruit, casserole dishes and this height advantage over other food dehydrators makes it ideal for arts and crafts.
The case, door and trays on the Excalibur 4500 food dryer are constructed of high grade polycarbonate which is virtually unbreakable and has 5 black 38 x 38 cm dishwasher safe trays with flexible mesh inserts offering 8 square feet of drying space in total.
The adjustable thermostat has a range from 85-155 °F (29 - 68 °C) allowing the Excalibur dehydrator to produce perfect drying of various different produce every time and the square tray design increases the drying area over other dehydrators with round trays. Average running cost per hour is 2 to 3 pence. Juiceland are an authorised Excalibur distributor and repair centre and there is a 5 year domestic warranty with this product.
