Home Freeze Dryer Equipment

Home Freeze Dryer Equipment is a compact vacuum freeze-drying system for processing fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy products, pet food, and other moisture-sensitive foods in small-batch applications.

Compact Batch Freeze Drying: 1.5 m² drying area with a reference capacity of 15–20 kg per batch, depending on product characteristics and loading conditions.
Controlled Vacuum Sublimation: Vacuum and shelf temperature are controlled to support stable freeze-drying cycles for different products.
Food-Contact Construction: 304 stainless steel product-contact surfaces support food processing and routine cleaning.
Compact Integrated Design: Integrated freeze-drying and control systems in a 650 × 1080 × 1165 mm footprint for space-limited installations.

Food and Produce: Suitable for freeze-drying fruits, vegetables, prepared foods, and other moisture-containing food materials.
Meat Products: Applicable to small-batch freeze-drying of meat products, with loading adjusted to product size and moisture content.
Herbs and Botanicals: Suitable for herbs and botanical materials requiring low-temperature moisture removal.
Laboratory Processing: Applicable to sample preparation, process trials, and small-scale production within the machine's batch capacity.

Drying Chamber: The chamber provides multiple loading layers with 40 mm spacing and a total freeze-drying area of 1.5 m².
304 Stainless Steel Surfaces: Food-contact surfaces are specified as 304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and routine cleaning.
Vacuum System: Creates the low-pressure environment required for ice sublimation during freeze-drying.
Compact Machine Structure: The integrated unit measures 650 × 1080 × 1165 mm and weighs 165 kg before product loading.

Product Pre-Freezing: The material is first frozen so that its water content becomes ice before the vacuum drying stage begins.
Vacuum Drying: After freezing, the chamber pressure is reduced and heat is supplied under controlled conditions, allowing ice to sublimate without passing through the conventional liquid-water drying stage.

Moisture Sublimation: During primary drying, ice is removed directly as vapor under vacuum. Drying time varies with product thickness, initial moisture content, loading quantity, and material characteristics.
Final Moisture Removal: The later drying stage removes remaining bound moisture to reach the required product condition. Actual cycle parameters should be established according to the specific material being processed.

PLC-Based Control: The product description specifies a PLC control system for monitoring and controlling the freeze-drying cycle.
Drying Curve Monitoring: The control system allows operators to monitor the drying process and adjust operating conditions according to the material and drying stage.
Temperature Management: Shelf temperature is controlled during drying to limit unnecessary temperature increases when processing heat-sensitive materials.
Batch Operation: The HFD-15 operates as a batch freeze dryer, with each production cycle loaded according to the available 1.5 m² drying area and the material's allowable loading thickness.

Power Supply: The listed electrical configuration is 220 V with a rated power of 3 kW. The buyer should confirm that the installation site provides a compatible power supply before ordering.
Installation Space: The equipment footprint is 650 × 1080 mm, while the overall height is 1165 mm. Additional clearance should be reserved for operation, cleaning, maintenance, and access to connections.
Floor Loading: The machine weighs approximately 165 kg before packaging. The installation surface should be capable of supporting the equipment weight together with the loaded product.
Site Preparation: The installation area should provide suitable electrical service, adequate working clearance, and environmental conditions appropriate for freeze-drying operations. Utility and site requirements should be confirmed against the final machine configuration.

Dimensional Inspection: Finished equipment is checked against the specified overall dimensions and configuration before shipment to verify conformity with the production specification.
Electrical Inspection: The electrical system is checked according to the specified 220 V / 3 kW configuration before delivery.
Control System Testing: The PLC-based control system and operating functions are checked before shipment to identify control or operation issues during final inspection.

Machine Trial: The assembled machine is operated before delivery to check basic equipment operation and confirm that the supplied unit is ready for the customer's installation and commissioning process.
