An industrial freeze dryer (sublimation freeze dryer) removes moisture from frozen food by freezing the product and then applying a vacuum so ice sublimates directly to vapor. This preserves flavor, nutrients, color and structure, making it ideal for fruits and candies.
This unit is designed for fruits and candies but can also handle many other food items and research samples. Very high-sugar, sticky or oil-rich items may require pre-treatment or special handling—contact the supplier for guidance.
Brand: CQ; Type: Freeze Dryer; Weight: 80 kg; Dimensions: 750 × 630 × 1120 mm (L×W×H); Voltage: 220 V; Power: 950 W; Core components include the motor and vacuum system. It is sold as a single item.
It is suitable for both home food preservation and small business snack production. Ensure you have a 220 V electrical supply and enough space for the unit and ventilation. For continuous high-volume commercial production, larger industrial models may be more appropriate.
Processing time varies by product, piece size and moisture content. Typical freeze-drying cycles for fruits or candies range from about 24 to 48 hours, but some items may take longer. Exact times depend on your recipe and load.
Preparation commonly includes washing, slicing to uniform thickness, pre-freezing (if required), and arranging items in a single layer on trays. For sticky candies, pre-freezing or using separators may help prevent clumping. Follow specific product guidelines for best results.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning trays and interior surfaces after use, draining and cleaning condensate systems, changing/inspecting vacuum pump oil and seals per manufacturer recommendations, and keeping the condenser and cooling elements free of debris. Follow the user manual for maintenance intervals.
Use airtight, moisture-proof packaging such as Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers or vacuum-sealed containers to maximize shelf life. Properly packaged freeze-dried fruits and candies can last from 1–5 years for typical retail conditions; in ideal oxygen-free packaging, some items may keep much longer.
Yes. The listing indicates a video outgoing inspection and a machinery test report are provided to confirm performance before shipping.
This model runs on 220 V and consumes about 950 W. Ensure a properly grounded circuit, adequate ventilation around the unit, and a stable level surface capable of supporting the 80 kg weight.
The unit is described as easy to operate and maintain, but basic training on freeze-drying cycles, product preparation, safety procedures and routine maintenance is recommended. Many suppliers offer manuals, videos, or remote support to help new users.
Standard safety practices include proper grounding of the electrical supply, following load limits, avoiding contact with cold surfaces, ensuring safe handling of vacuum and refrigerant systems, and following the manufacturer's instructions for maintenance and repair. Consult the manual for specific safety warnings.
Common accessories include additional trays, replacement gaskets, vacuum pump oil, and spare seals. Contact the supplier or manufacturer (brand CQ) for availability, part numbers and lead times.
Noise levels vary by vacuum pump and condenser type. This model is compact and designed for small business or home environments; it's generally comparable to other small industrial freeze dryers, but you should expect audible motor and pump sound during operation. Ask the supplier for measured noise data if this is critical.
For warranty details, technical support, or to discuss custom configurations (tray sizes, capacity changes, additional pumps), contact the seller or CQ (the listed brand). They can provide service information, spare parts and documentation.
