Overview

Benchstar FD-10HB Food Dehydrator with 10 trays

The Benchstar FD-10HB is a commercial-grade food dehydrator built for professional kitchens, artisan producers and food businesses that need reliable, consistent results. Constructed from food-grade, BPA-free stainless steel throughout, it comes standard with 10 trays (each 339 x 311 mm) and is expandable to 16 or 24 tray configurations, giving operators the flexibility to scale output as demand grows. A tempered glass door lets you monitor the drying process at a glance without disrupting the internal environment.

Precision drying is delivered through a digital control panel with a temperature range of 30 to 90°C and a 24-hour programmable timer, while 360° hot air circulation ensures every tray receives even, consistent heat. Built-in overheat protection activates at 120°C for added peace of mind during long drying cycles. Whether you are preserving seasonal fruit, producing dried herbs, making artisan jerky or drying bread, the FD-10HB offers the capacity and control to handle it all efficiently without additives, retaining the natural flavour and nutrients of your ingredients.
