home freeze dryer

The HFD series home food freeze dryer breaks through the limitations of traditional manual operation by integrating in-situ pre-freezing and drying, significantly enhancing process convenience. The second-generation upgraded version fully incorporates a PLC intelligent control system, enabling one-touch automated operation. It is widely used for fruits, vegetables, meats, aquatic products, traditional Chinese medicines, health products, pet food, instant beverages, and more.

What is Freeze-Drying? The Gold Standard in Food Preservation

Freeze-drying (lyophilization) is the most effective method to preserve food. It's a gentle, three-stage process that removes moisture without damaging the food's cellular structure:

• Deep Freezing: The unit rapidly freezes the food solid at ultra-low temperatures.
• Vacuum Chamber: A powerful vacuum is created, allowing the frozen ice to sublimate directly from solid to vapor.
• Primary Drying: Low, gentle heat accelerates sublimation, while a high-capacity cold trap captures all released vapor.

The Result: Food retains over 97% of its nutrients, color, shape, and flavor. It's lightweight, can be stored for 25+ years, and rehydrates in minutes.
