It is particularly well-suited for small-scale freeze-drying applications. These machines are widely utilized for drying fruits, meats, vegetables, traditional Chinese medicinal herbs, and health supplements.
Freeze-drying, also known as lyophilization, is a preservation process that involves freezing the product and then subjecting it to a vacuum environment to remove moisture. This process allows ice to transition directly into vapor without passing through the liquid phase. The freeze-drying process consists of three separate, distinct, and interdependent stages: freezing, primary drying (sublimation), and secondary drying (desorption).
