Full-Width Side-by-Side Drying With Independent Zone Control
Built for Canadian butcher shops, commercial kitchens, and high-volume batch producers who need serious tray capacity without stacking zones vertically, the BenchFoods 32HCUDG splits its cabinet side-by-side into two independently controlled compartments, each behind its own glass door.
Key Features:
- Heavy-duty 304 stainless steel construction throughout
- 32 stainless steel mesh trays, 5.3 m² (57 sq. ft.) of drying surface
- 2 independent zones, each with its own glass door and controls
- 99-hour digital timer with memory function
- 1°F precision up to 195°F (91°C), plus heat-free Ambient Air Mode
What's Included in the Box:
- 1x Commercial Dehydrator Unit (2 Independent Processing Zones)
- 32x Food-Grade 304 Stainless Steel Mesh Trays
- 2x Stainless Steel Pan Drip Trays
- 1x User Manual
Instead of stacking drying compartments top to bottom, this cabinet runs its two zones side by side behind twin glass doors, each with its own thermostat, timer, and dedicated pair of high-velocity fans. Run different batches, temperatures, or timers in each zone at once without one side affecting the other.
Each zone draws from a shared 5.3 m² (57 sq. ft.) of total drying surface across 32 trays, with four rear-mounted fans, two per zone, driving horizontal forced-air convection evenly across every tray so nothing needs manual rotation mid-cycle.
Digital touch controls for the left and right zones let you dial in temperatures from 21°C to 91°C (70°F to 195°F), plus a dedicated Ambient Air Mode for slow, no-heat drying. A 99-hour timer per zone, a completion cooling cycle, and insulated double-walled construction keep runs efficient and hands-off on a busy kitchen line.
