Food Freeze Dryer for Home Use

Food Freeze Dryer for Home Use is a vacuum freeze dryer for small-batch processing of fruits, vegetables, meat, prepared foods and other suitable food materials.

The system integrates vacuum drying and moisture collection for home food preservation, small-scale processing and pilot production.

Vacuum Sublimation: Frozen water is removed by sublimation under vacuum, changing ice directly into vapor without passing through the liquid phase.

Low-Temperature Processing: Vacuum freeze-drying reduces thermal exposure and can help retain the color, structure and flavor of suitable food materials.

Batch Drying: The 10-tray configuration provides 0.9 m² of total tray area for arranging food portions in a single batch.

Moisture Removal: Water vapor released during sublimation is collected in the cold trap, reducing moisture in the product during the drying cycle.

Small Food Producers: Suitable for small food manufacturers and specialty food businesses producing freeze-dried foods in small batches.
Pet Treat Manufacturers: Suitable for small-batch production of freeze-dried pet treats and prepared pet foods.
Farms & Food Processors: Suitable for farms and local processors handling seasonal produce and small-batch food preservation.
Food R&D & Pilot Production: Suitable for product trials, process testing and initial production before larger-scale equipment is considered.

Vacuum Pumping: The vacuum system provides a pumping rate of 2–4 L/s and supports chamber pressure below 2 Pa during the drying process.
Cold Trap: The refrigeration system maintains the cold trap at -55°C, where water vapor released during sublimation is captured as ice.
Air-Cooled Configuration: The air-cooled system does not require a separate cooling-water circuit, simplifying utility requirements for locations without dedicated process-water infrastructure.
Defrost & Drainage: After drying, the built-in defrost function melts accumulated ice in the cold trap, while the water discharge valve provides a defined outlet for condensate removal.

Internal Chamber Material: Fabricated with an all-stainless steel interior to prevent corrosion, support food hygiene standards, and simplify routine sanitization.

Observation Door Assembly: Fitted with a transparent high-strength plexiglass door allowing visual inspection of the material state during the drying cycle.

Vacuum Sealing: Heavy-duty rubber sealing elements are fitted around the door to maintain the sealed chamber condition required for vacuum operation.

Floor-Standing Structure: The 670 × 723 × 1130 mm floor-standing configuration integrates the processing chamber, refrigeration and vacuum-related components into one unit.

Power Supply: The standard configuration is 220 V / 50 Hz; 110 V or 380 V can be specified before production according to the destination site's power supply.
Floor Requirements: Install the 138 kg unit on a level, load-bearing floor suitable for the equipment and loaded trays.
Ventilation: Provide adequate airflow around the machine to allow heat generated during operation to dissipate.
Service Access: Allow sufficient working space for tray loading, door access, defrosting and water drainage.
