How Do Batches Work?

Best dehydrators by far and I have used many brands and models from Excalibur 5-9 trays and Weston medium and larger to others. These dehydrator fans are very even in the distribution of air and the texture in both fruits and jerky when finished is very good. Their customer service is excellent and have been very happy with the 32 tray side by side model.
