Industrial AirFlow 156 Commercial Food Dehydrator
About the Industrial AirFlow 156 Commercial Food Dehydrator
Advanced Food Dehydrator AirFlow 156 Commercial Food Dehydrator. This powerful little industrial food dehydrator is a perfect size, it has 156 square footage of drying tray area. It can hold approximately 156 pounds of beef sliced at 1/4 inch thickness for making quality beef jerky.
The size is approximate 97″ long x 34” wide x 78” high, approximately weight 1200 pounds. Perfect for the startup home based business.
A Must Have Feature:
AirFlow 156 Commercial Dehydrator can cook the “Lethality cycle” and can dehydrate 156 pounds of beef in approximately 3.5 hours. The USDA inspectors are looking for this important step called the “Lethality Cycle”, so to protect the consumer from contamination when making beef or chicken jerky. The proper safe USDA way to dehydrate beef is to raise the temperature of the interior of the dehydrator to 170 – 180 F above 27% moisture before dehydration takes place, this is called the lethality cycle. Our machine can easily do this.
Most dehydrators on the market today do not have the capability. So when purchasing a commercial dehydrator make sure it has this important feature. This dehydrator can also dehydrate fish, fish skins, vegetables, fruit, pet food jerky treats, mushrooms, kale chips and so much more.

How the AirFlow 156 Commercial Food Dehydrator Works
The 156 AirFlow Commercial Dehydrator comes with one heavy duty circulation fan. This fan circulates the air many times through the trays while the exhaust fan vents the moisture away. With one powerful 19.5 kW total, electric heater, the heater can raise the temperature of the beef to 160F – 180F with 27 – 60% moisture in the dehydration chamber before dehydration take place. Then the moisture air is vented away through the exhaust fan to the outside of the building. It is said doing 4 batches per day x 365 days can easily process 1 million in beef jerky per year.
A Commercial / Industrial Digital Temperature Controller saves energy, time and money by cycling the heaters on and off once your set temperature has been reached.
