Horizontal airflow food dehydrators to offer uniform heating

Based on the technology, the global food dehydrator market share from the horizontal airflow segment exceeded USD 1.4 billion in 2021. In horizontal airflow food dehydrators, the heat source is at the back side of the unit, which spreads the heat more uniformly. This uniform heating of each tray in the dehydrator ensures that the foods dry faster and more properly.
 

The products also make the end-product taste better and can retain more nutrients after completing the drying process. These food dehydrators are ideal for commercial kitchens because they are larger in size. They are considered one of the best appliances to prepare meat or beef jerky which requires a substantial amount of heat.
