Power Requirments
The Large Freeze Dryer uses a 20-amp Receptacle. Most receptacles in a house are 15 amps. So you will need a 20-amp breaker and a 20-amp receptacle. Below is a link to the receptacle that is needed.
What makes us Different:
- These are Built In Idaho with the highest quality components.
- Our refrigeration system uses Cubigel compressors, a trusted name brand with excellent quality and longevity.
- More cooling capacity, which translates to faster batches (twice as fast as competitors with the large model).
- A circulating fan inside the chamber blast-freezes the food, creating better quality food and faster freeze times.
- A P100 filter inside the chamber protects your vacuum pump from particulates, increasing the lifespan of the vacuum pump.
- Smart software utilizes PID control technology and solid-state relays to freeze-dry your food accurately.
- We use a natural refrigerant (R1270) that is future-proof, unlike R404 or R410 which will both be discontinued soon.
- On our machine, all vacuum fittings are barbed fittings. We do not use crimped fittings, which are prone to vacuum leaks.
- We use a gasket material to seal all threads. We do not use Teflon Tape, which is also leak-prone.
- The frame of our machines is made with extruded aluminum and is incredibly durable.
- Recipes built into the software allow you to optimize your freeze-drying cycles. Candy, for example, can get done in about 2 hours. Fruit, on the other hand, takes about 10-18 hours, depending on the load.
