Industrial low temperature freeze dryer for high sugar or acid content products
For processing challenging high sugar or acid content products, achieve efficient moisture removal and sublimation while maintaining product integrity, ensuring your production line handles delicate materials with precision and reliability.
Freeze-Dries High Sugar and Acid Content Products
The FD1200LT Freeze Dryer from Cuddon Freeze Dry is designed specifically for freeze-drying products with high sugar and acid content. It operates using an ice coil set at extremely low temperatures, controlled by R507 refrigerant, to effectively manage the sublimation process. Ideal for industries like food processing and archiving, it produces end-products such as fruit preserves, cannabis extracts, and dehydrated documents. Featuring a substantial shelf capacity of 113.7 m² across 19 shelves, it can sublimate up to 1200 kg of ice within 24 hours. The system is PLC-controlled for precise operations and integrates easily into existing production lines. It offers significant energy efficiency, with an estimated energy consumption of 1.7 kWh/kg, optimized by the Temper 55 heating/cooling medium. Built to meet various global regulatory requirements, the FD1200LT is equipped with food-grade anodized aluminum product trays, available for high capacity batch operations across different product types, including solids and liquids. For customization and enhanced support, the plant equipment is provided on a separate skid, facilitating easier installation and maintenance.
