How to adjust the dehydration time and temperature of commercial food dryer?

The dehydration time and temperature of a commercial food dehydrator can typically be adjusted through the control panel or control system. The specific adjustment methods may vary depending on the model and brand of the dehydrator, but here are the general common ways to adjust:

Dehydration Time Adjustment: Commercial dehydrators usually offer options to set the dehydration time. You can adjust the desired dehydration time on the control panel or control system. Adjust the dehydration time based on the type of food and its moisture level to ensure thorough drying.

Temperature Adjustment: Commercial dehydrators generally have adjustable temperature control. You can adjust the drying temperature as needed. Different foods may require different drying temperatures, so adjust the temperature according to the characteristics of the food and the drying requirements to achieve optimal dehydration results.

When adjusting the dehydration time and temperature, it is advisable to keep the following points in mind:

Read and comply with the user manual and operating instructions of the dehydrator to understand the specific steps and safety precautions for your particular model.


Understand the characteristics and dehydration requirements of the food, including recommended dehydration time and temperature ranges. Some foods may require longer dehydration times, while others may require lower temperatures.

Conduct trials and experimentation, and make adjustments based on the results obtained. Start with lower temperatures and shorter times, and gradually increase the temperature and time until the desired dehydration results are achieved.

Regularly check the condition and quality of the food. If the food is over-dehydrated or under-dehydrated, it may be necessary to adjust the dehydration time or temperature.


Please note that different foods may have different dehydration requirements, so it is best to refer to specific guidelines and recipes for the particular food when adjusting the dehydration time and temperature.
