               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 $5000.00 commercial model...in an affordable home unit. 
              With 20 years of manufacturing excellence, the 
                Excalibur Food Dehydrator sets the industry standard for design, 
                quality, and dependability.  
              Why the Excalibur Dehydrator 
                Excalibur Offers the Turbo Charged Parallexx Drying System. Millions 
                have rediscovered the benefits of food dehydration. Healthy, nutritious, 
                and tasty food at a huge savings. Now Excalibur makes drying easy. 
                For centuries food has been dried in the sun or open air - a lengthy, 
                messy and difficult process inviting contamination and spoilage. 
                With the introduction of electric dehydrators the drying process 
                was improved. But most manufacturers offered round stackable models 
                with a heating unit in the bottom. Excalibur pioneered a rear-mounted 
                equipment package allowing horizontal or parallel air flow...The 
                Parallexx System.

                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.

                Excalibur Parallexx System Advantages:  
              
 
                - Complete drying system in rear. (includes 
                  thermostat and fan) 
 
                 - Easy to clean... Spills fall on seamless 
                  bottom. 
 
                 - Horizontal drying provides even drying, eliminating 
                  tray rotations. Fast drying... 
 
                 - Adjustable thermostat allows perfect drying 
                  every time. 
 
                 - Square design increases drying area "25%" 
                  with no holes in center of tray. 
 
                 - Versatile... Trays can be removed to expand 
                  drying chamber. 
 
                   
                   
                
             | 
           
           
            |   Typical 
              Round Dehydrator | 
           
           
             
                | 
             
                
                Normal drips fall on the electrical controls beneath the food. 
                This can cause electrical problems as well as being very difficult 
                to clean. The more trays that are added, the further the food 
                is away from the heat, dramatically increasing the drying time, 
                and requiring frequent tray rotation day and night to prevent 
                spoilage. Who wants to "BABYSIT" THEIR DEHYDRATOR?!!

                Standard Dehydrator Disadvantages:  
              
 
                - Round Stackable Units Heating unit in bottom. 
                  (many without fan or thermostat) 
 
                 - Hard to clean... Spills fall directly on 
                  electric components. 
 
                 - Vertical drying requires tray rotation as 
                  trays closest to heat source dry first. 
 
                 - Slow drying...Units without fan or thermostat 
                  may spoil food or not dry at all. 
 
                 - Round design cuts off corners and has holes 
                  in center, reducing usable drying area. 
 
                 - Non-adjustable stackable design restricts 
                  size of drying chamber.
