Food freeze dryer for bulk materials
When preserving food products such as fruits, berries, truffles, herbs, or even cannabis, optimizing moisture removal while maintaining the integrity and quality of the product is crucial. Traditional drying techniques may not suffice for bulk materials, necessitating advanced solutions to ensure uniform and efficient drying.
Uniform drying using radiant heat technology
The Sublimator EKS-R by Zirbus is designed for the efficient freeze drying of bulk materials. This series incorporates radiant heat technology, with shelves heated via water-flooded surfaces to ensure uniform drying without direct contact. Suitable for products like fruits, truffles, herbs, and animal feed, this system ensures even temperature distribution across suspended trays. The units offer ice capacities up to 1,200 kg and footprints up to 90 m², with loading capacities ranging from 15 kg to 500 kg. With temperatures reaching -45 °C in the ice condenser and up to 110 °C on the shelves, the freeze dryer achieves rapid drying due to the increased surface area. Zirbus, a reputable German manufacturer with decades of experience, guarantees a resilient and efficient design.
