The FDG1000 is Nyle's gas-fired dehydrator in the FDG Series, offering significantly larger chamber size and heat output. Where the FDG600 holds 18 racks and 360 trays with an 800,000 Btu/hr burner, the FDG1000 holds 30 racks and 600 trays powered by a GHV 12 burner at 1,200,000 Btu/hr, 50% more heat output for a chamber that handles two-thirds more product. Batch loads range from 3,000 to 6,000 pounds of wet product per run, compared to 1,800 to 3,600 on the FDG600. Both systems share the same 80°–220°F temperature range, reversible fan design, control platform, and scheduling capabilities.

The FDG1000 is built for the highest-throughput commercial and industrial food processing environments; high-volume meat and jerky operations, industrial herb and spice processors, and any facility where maximizing batch size and minimizing cycle-to-cycle downtime is a primary operational priority. If your production volume has outgrown a smaller-tray system, or if you're building out a new facility designed around peak throughput from day one, the FDG1000 is the appropriate scale.

Yes. Like the FDG600, the FDG1000 includes a Validation step mode in its scheduler that holds both chamber temperature and relative humidity at operator-defined setpoints for a specified time duration before advancing. With a 220°F temperature ceiling, it can execute kill-step protocols at temperatures that heat pump systems cannot reach, making it appropriate for products governed by USDA processing requirements or facilities operating under a validated HACCP plan that specifies high-temperature thermal processing.

Yes. The FDG1000 runs the same touch-screen control platform and scheduling software as the rest of the FDG Series. Operators get up to 10 programmable schedule steps with Time, Temp, RH, and Validation step modes; per-step fan speed and vent position control; real-time readings from four temperature and humidity probes; data logging at one-minute intervals accessible through a web browser; and remote monitoring and control via VNC client. Schedules can be saved to the SD card and reloaded by name for repeat product runs.

The FDG1000 requires 480V three-phase electrical service (available in 50 Hz or 60 Hz), a natural gas or propane supply line sized for 1,200,000 Btu/hr input, and adequate floor space for the unit's 34'0" × 6'3" footprint with additional clearance for door swing, airflow, and service access. An appropriate vent stack connection is required for the furnace exhaust. Nyle's team provides detailed pre-installation requirements and handles expert commissioning to ensure the system is fully operational before handoff.
