What about Maintenance?
We make sure that your machine is built to run as intended. We compiled a list of maintenance items that should be completed daily, weekly and monthly. These items are minor things, that ensure your machine will last for years to come. In the event that there is a failure, we also have put together a spare parts kit that includes the most frequently requested items. The kits include things like, gaskets, O-rings, thermocouples and other components that can fail over time. Read more about the spare parts kits, HERE.
Warranty?

Additional items needed?
So, what else will you need for your Parker Freeze Dyer? The biggest thing you will need is space, a location to house your unit and access to 480v 3 phase power is the biggest need for a Paker Freeze Dryer.

Cost?

The smallest model (The Summit) is a turnkey system, and modular in design that runs 97.5 lbs. of wet weight per batch, so that you just need to have 240V/60amp service with the provided plug, and it is ready to go. Prices and necessary equipment for use increases as the batch sizes increase and they go up to 4,000 lbs., Parker Freeze Dry unlike its competitors, includes refrigeration in the pricing, rather than it being a separate purchase.
