FreezeDry Food Freeze Dryers
[6 Models]FreezeDry food freeze dryers provide commercial freeze drying equipment for food manufacturers, research organisations and product development laboratories.
Designed to preserve flavour, texture, colour and nutritional value, the range scales from compact laboratory units through to industrial systems capable of processing up to 300 kg per batch, supporting everything from product development to full-scale food production.
Intelligent controls, automated shelf heating and remote monitoring help deliver consistent, repeatable freeze drying across a wide range of food products.
- Models from laboratory scale to 300 kg industrial production
- Preserve flavour, colour, texture and nutritional value
- Designed for food R&D, pilot production and commercial manufacturing
Preserve Food Quality
Freeze drying removes moisture while helping retain the flavour, texture, colour and nutritional value of food products for long-term storage.
Scalable Production
Choose from compact laboratory systems through to industrial freeze dryers processing up to 300 kg per batch.
Intelligent Monitoring
Selected models feature WiFi connectivity, cloud monitoring, temperature and vacuum monitoring, and automatic cycle reporting for greater process visibility.
Automated Drying
Automatic shelf heating, programmable drying cycles and efficient refrigeration help deliver consistent freeze drying performance with minimal operator intervention.
FreezeDry food freeze dryers are suitable for a wide range of food processing, product development and research applications.
Typical applications include:
- Fruit freeze drying
- Vegetable freeze drying
- Meat processing
- Seafood processing
- Ready meals
- Herbs and spices
- Coffee and beverage ingredients
- Functional foods
- Nutraceuticals
- Pet food
- Food product development
- University research
- Commercial food manufacturing
Freeze drying removes water through sublimation, producing lightweight, shelf-stable products while preserving their original appearance, flavour and nutritional value. This makes it an ideal preservation method for premium food products and long-term storage applications.
Scalable Freeze-Drying Capacity
Choose from compact laboratory systems through to industrial-scale equipment, with maximum condenser capacities ranging from 2 kg to 300 kg.
Low-Temperature Ice Condensers
Ice condenser temperatures of -45°C or -50°C support effective vapour capture throughout the freeze-drying process.
Heated Shelf Systems
Automatic or programmable shelf heating provides controlled energy input to support efficient and consistent product drying.
Rapid Condenser Defrost
Reverse-refrigeration defrost systems reduce turnaround times between cycles, with model-dependent defrost times starting at under three minutes.
Flexible Process Control
Depending on the model, control options range from analogue operation and Wi-Fi web applications to manual controls and an industrial Siemens HMI.
Integrated Process Monitoring
Monitor critical parameters including shelf temperature, condenser temperature and vacuum, with material-temperature monitoring available on selected models.
Dry Vacuum Pump Options
The range supports dry-vacuum technology, with integrated, recommended or combined pump configurations available according to system size and application.
