Excalibur Dehydrator - 9 tray with 26hr timer

Only
!

Dehydration is the Healthiest, Easiest, Most Economical Way to Preserve Foods!

Overseas, for 34 years, Excalibur has been the # 1 choice for home food dehydration or the small business environment. They have a reputation for being the best dehydrator for preserving the nutrient & enzyme levels of living foods.

The Excalibur dehydrator is everything you need to make a never-ending supply of wholesome & healthy dried fruits, healthy lunch box snacks, vegetables and meat dishes!

You can also use this dehydrator to make your own delicious raw yoghurt.

This Food Dehydrator Retains Living Enzymes

The adjustable Hyperwave™ thermostat allows precision drying and the dehydrator comes with a 26 hour timer for added versatility.

This model comes with the deluxe fan & thermostat to guarantee your food retains its enzymes.


   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The best technique for retaining the enzymes is to set the Excalibur on 105ºF/40ºC setting throughout the entire cycle. That way the food temp will never go above 120ºF/48ºC even after it is dry.

The Excalibur is suitable for fruits, vegetables, fish & meats, herbs & flowers and more.

Make soups, sprouted seed crackers, stews, beef jerky, fruit rolls, yogurt, dry flower bouquets, dough & clay art.


Dry large or small items, liquids or solids. It’s the perfect choice for those interested in gardening, hunting, fishing, outdoor sports, camping & trekking, crafts, health, nutrition, special dietary needs, raw & living foods, sustainable living and more.

The Excalibur has a Unique Drying System

The Excalibur dehydrators feature the Parallexx™ Drying System for even drying.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* Horizontal airflow provides even drying, eliminating tray re-stacking.
* Drying is fast and heat is not lost as the dehydrator doesn’t need to be taken apart to change the tray sequence.
* This temperature controlled, fan forced, horizontal drying system is mounted in the rear of the unit. Cool air is drawn in the back, heated and distributed evenly across each tray, pushing moisture out of the front of the machine.

Excalibur dries BETTER, FASTER & SAFER thanks to our Hyperwave™ Fluctuation Technology

* Ordinary dehydrators produce constant, unchanging heat causing “case hardening,” a dry surface with moisture trapped inside — a perfect environment for yeast, mold, and bacteria growth.
* Excalibur’s Adjustable Thermostat lets you take advantage of Hyperwave Fluctuation (changing heat through the drying cycle) for faster, better, safer dried foods.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As the temperature fluctuates up the surface moisture evaporates. Then as the temperature fluctuates down the inner moisture moves to the drier surface. The food temperature stays LOW enough to keep the enzymes active, and the air temperature gets high enough to dry food fast, overcoming yeast, mold, and bacteria growth and spoilage.

With the adjustable Hyperwave™ thermostat and removable trays, you can dry just about anything!

Excalibur is the #1 choice of homeowners, small businesses, universities and restaurants worldwide


The World’s Best Quality Most Versatile Dehydrator Ever!


The Excalibur is the best-selling dehydrator in the world because of its physical design, its engineering quality, its broad versatility, and its reliable performance.


* The adjustable thermostat lets you fine tune to the exact temperature you need
* Removable trays let you customize drying space for small or large items and, in particular, square items.
* Removable trays allows you to check on your items easier than in a stackable dehydrator
* Lots of drying space so you handle large volumes

The Excalibur Dehydrator is Environmentally Friendly

Excalibur products are designed to be environmentally conscious. The Excalibur dehydrators are designed to run on lower wattage without compromising the quality of dried foods. The dehydrators' case, door, trays, and knobs are made from medical grade recycled plastics.

The Excalibur Dehydrator Design Superiority

* Electronics are back-mounted so spills won’t bake on
* The adjustable Hyperwave™ thermostat allows precision drying
* 26 hour timer for added versatility
* Removable, dishwasher-safe trays are easy to load; leave some out for drying bulky items
* Economical; just 8¢ - 11¢ of electricity an hour


The Excalibur Dehydrator Uses Quality Materials

* No harmful fumes like low-quality styrene dehydrators
* The walls are constructed of polycarbonate, a natural heat insulator, and better than single-wall stainless steel
* Virtually indestructible - trays won’t crack or break

Testimonials

"We’re concerned about preservatives and pesticides in canned foods and fresh vegetables. We raise a lot of things in our own garden and dry them in my Excalibur. We don’t use pesticides so we don’t have to worry about it. I want to live a long time so I try to eat nutritious foods. It’s easier if they’re dried. —
Carol Gilwater, North Highlands, CA

“A walk in the park” compared to canning! Here in Vermont, apples are plentiful and inexpensive in the fall. Although I ‘put up’ apple sauce, canning is labor-intensive. Dehydrating apples, by comparison, is sheer joy. We use dried apples for snacking, baking pies, and cooking. I dry home-grown herbs, too. Dehydrated foods are easy to store in plastic bags and the whole process is a ‘walk in the park’ compared to canning. I love it!
