Why Excalibur?
Over
20 years excellence! The first name in food dehydration presents the 2000 Series, featuring
the exclusive turbo charged Parallexx Drying System.
The Parallexx
design, with a temperature controlled, fan forced, horizontal drying system
mounted in the rear is exclusive to the 2000 Series. The same features found in
Excalibur's USDA approved commercial model...in an affordable home
unit.
Millions have
rediscovered the benefits of food dehydration. Healthy, nutritious and tasty
food at a substantial savings! Excalibur makes drying easy. Sun or open air
drying invites contamination and spoilage. The introduction of electric
dehydrators has significantly improved the drying process.
Excalibur pioneered a
rear-mounted equipment package - The Parallexx System - that allows horizontal
or parallel air flow. Fan forced, horizontal drying system mounted in rear
provides more complete, even drying. The fan, heating element, and adjustable
thermostat are mounted in the rear. Cool air is drawn in the back, heated up,
and distributed evenly across each tray. During the dehydration process, warm
air removes moisture from foods and is pushed out the front of the machine. The
adjustable thermostat (85+-145+) allows a range of temperatures for drying a
variety of foods, from herbs to yogurt to jerky.
All Excalibur
Dehydrators Feature:
- Removable door and
trays - no need to take apart to check drying or add more food.
- Almost unbreakable
and FDA approved polycarbonate trays. Inserts make cleaning a snap.
- Controlled
environment for a wide variety of uses, i.e. making fruit roll-ups, homemade
pastas, cheeses, yogurt, trail mixes and drying flower arrangements, herbs, arts
and crafts, photos.
- The Parallexx
System+; horizontal airflow for maximum drying efficiency
- Thermostatically
controlled temperature (range 85+-145+)
- Very fast drying
times (no tray rotation needed)
- Square trays are
easier to load as opposed to round trays
- Easy cleanup, bottom
is seamless so you just wipe up drips
- Door lifts off for
loading and cleaning
- Use less trays for
more space between trays (larger items)
- Teflex sheets can be
used for liquid puree to make fruit leathers

Why Dehydrate?
Dehydration is one of the easiest forms of food preservation. During
dehydration the moisture is evaporated from the food, inhibiting the growth of
microorganisms and bacteria. The air inside the dehydrator is heated; it dries
and circulates the air, absorbing the moisture from anything placed in the
drying chamber. The air temperature is low enough to dry but not cook.
Dehydration is one of the least damaging forms of food preservation. Most
nutrients and vitamins remain unaffected by the dehydration process. Some foods,
fruits for example, taste sweeter because the water is removed and the sugar is
more concentrated.
The dehydrator can be
used for a variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, meat, fish and
poultry. Make delicious all natural trail mix, potato chips, fruit roll ups and
meat jerky. Dry your own herbs, or flowers for homemade potpourri or flower
arrangements.
- Save Money - Buy
food on sale, in bulk, or in season. Save 50% or more.

- Great Taste - It's a
"flavor concentrator", each bite is a mouth watering burst of flavor.
- Ease of Use - Wash,

- Space Saving - Dried
foods reduce in size and store easier than canned or frozen.
