Harvest Right HRC100 Commercial Freeze Dryer FAQs
What makes the HRC100 different from home freeze dryers?
+
The HRC100 is a true commercial unit that bridges the gap between home models and large industrial freeze dryers. It processes 65-90 lbs per batch using nine 18" x 26" industrial baking trays with 4,270.5 square inches of total shelf area - significantly more than the
X-Large model (40-50 lbs) with an impressive annual capacity of 18,000 lbs.
Who should consider the HRC100 for their business?
+
The HRC100 is perfect for businesses entering or expanding commercial freeze-drying operations. It's ideal for established food producers, co-packers, or serious commercial operations that need consistent high-volume processing beyond what home models like the
Large or
Medium models can provide.
Should I buy two X-Large units instead of one HRC100?
+
This depends on your specific needs and budget. Combined, two
X-Large units costs less than one HRC100 while offering higher combined capacity (80-100 lbs total vs 65-90 lbs), plus redundancy and flexibility with separate 20A circuits. The HRC100 provides single-unit simplicity with robust commercial construction but represents a single point of operation. Consider your space, electrical setup, budget, and whether redundancy or simplicity is more important for your operation.
What are the power and installation requirements?
+
The HRC100 requires a 220V single-phase outlet with a dedicated 30A circuit and NEMA 10-30P plug. You'll need a CE certified breaker with GFCI, overload protection, short circuit protection, isolation, and residual current operation. The unit weighs 985 lbs and measures 70" tall x 37.25" deep x 33.5" wide, requiring professional installation and adequate floor space.
Extension cords are not recommended by Harvest Right as it may cause issues while the machine is running.
How user-friendly is the HRC100 for daily operation?
+
Despite its commercial capacity, the HRC100 maintains user-friendly operation. Simply load your product onto the standard baking sheet trays, press start, and the machine will alert you with a beep when the process is complete. It's built on Harvest Right's proven freeze-drying technology, ensuring reliable and consistent results.
What maintenance does the HRC100 require?
+
The HRC100 includes a premier industrial vacuum pump integrated inside the unit for optimal performance and space efficiency. Regular maintenance includes cleaning the nine stainless steel trays after each use and following the pump oil change schedule. Expert technical support is available to help maintain peak performance.
What's covered under the warranty?
+
The HRC100 includes a full one-year warranty covering the freeze dryer and premier industrial vacuum pump for defective workmanship or materials. Years 2-3 provide limited warranty on the sealed refrigeration system (compressor, condenser, evaporator). Consumer handles diagnostic costs and transportation after year 1, with special provisions for Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and Puerto Rico.
