What type of food products can I freeze dry?

Most all food items can be freeze dried. This includes liquids, slurries, sliced, diced, and whole items.

How long does it take to freeze dry a food product?

Our FC units are designed to freeze dry most food items in 24-36 hours. Our FC-R units are designed to freeze dry most food items in 16-24 hours. For instance, an FC-R 100 is rated to remove 220 pounds of water from the load of product in 24 hours.

Do I need to pre-freeze my product before loading it into an FC or FC-R unit?

In the FC units you can freeze dry your product directly within the freeze dryer. The FC-R units are provided with a trolley and cassette system, that are intended to go into a separate walk-in freezer. The trays fit on the cassette. Your product will be frozen in the trays. They will be placed on the cassette, which is loaded onto the trolley. Simply roll the trolley up to the front of the freeze dryer, and slide the cassette into the freeze dryer.

Are FC and FC-R units built in an ISO-9001 approved factory?

Yes, our factory is ISO-9001 approved. Our units are also CE certified.

What type of refrigerant is used in the refrigeration system?

We are currently using R-404A, which is a readily available NON-CFC commercial refrigerant.

What type of liquid silicone is used in the heat transfer system?

FC and FC-R units use Dow Therm in a completely sealed system.

Are NutriFREEZE freeze dryers difficult to maintain?

NO. Both the refrigeration system and the heat transfer system are sealed systems that do not require regular maintenance.We normally use vacuum pumps that contain oil. These pumps need to be monitored between loads, and the oil should be changed if contaminated. The FC-R 50 and 100 both have condensing coils in the back of the product chamber that will need to be defrosted at the end of the drying cycle, and after the product is unloaded.The FC-R 250 and 500 have automatic continuous defrost cycles during the course of the drying cycle. Thus eliminating the need to defrost at the end of the cycle.
