Freeze dryer for high sugar or acid content products
Achieve precise moisture control for challenging high sugar or acid content products, ensuring optimal quality and stability for sensitive applications.
Freeze Dries High Sugar and Acidic Products
The FD100LT Low Temperature Freeze Dryer from Cuddon Freeze Dry is engineered for precise drying of high sugar and acidic products. It features an efficient sublimation process, using R507 refrigerant and a -55°C ice condenser, making it ideal for food, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical industries. With a shelf capacity of 9.1m² and capable of sublimating 100kg of ice in under 24 hours, it supports batch, pilot, and low-temperature operations. The dryer handles solids, liquids, and slurries, producing end-products like fruit preserves, yogurt powder, and probiotic supplements. Its compact design integrates easily into production lines, maintaining energy efficiency with potential heat recovery of 12 kW and typical operational power consumption of 10 kW. Constructed from food-grade anodized aluminum, it is durable and compliant with industrial standards, while offering customization and support for seamless integration into various manufacturing processes.
