Commercial Freeze Drying

Freeze drying is used in a variety of applications. Creating an end product that is without moisture, and can withstand longer shelf lives, prevents bacterial growth and offers solutions for industries such as biochemistry, dairy, consumer goods, agricultural developments and educational fields as well. Most people don't realize how large the freeze dry industry really is. We see the fun; social media postings and small tabletop freeze dryers creating puff candies. What most don't see is the industries that are using the freeze dry technology on an industrial scale in commercial grade units. 

Recently there has been an increase in the medical industry utilizing the technology of freeze drying, to preserve, and create vaccines. These findings are life changing and need to be done at a scale that is astronomical to keep up with demand. This is where commercial freeze drying plays a roll. Beyond that, many operations for many freeze-dry businesses have increased as well due to the high demand of long-lasting products and materials. Including, dog food industries, dairy, cannabis, emergency preparedness and more.

So, why commercial freeze drying? This scaled operation is frequently done based on just volume, or on the need for a product to survive extreme conditions, and sometimes it is used for allowing long term preservation, and then as previously stated, things that require a little more care and are delicate, such as vaccines and medications. Large scale companies that are running thousands of pounds of product per day, need fast, efficient machines that operate on a superior level of quality and end results.

What are the benefits of commercial freeze drying? First, obvious reason is the results. There is a different level of quality when you transfer from a small tabletop machine to the commercial brands such as Parker Freeze Dry. When you scale to a large machine, you can change the throughput, narrow down on a recipe and gain consistency and quality results in a controlled setting. Commercial freeze drying is typically done in large, regulated facilities, creating a product that is following standards and you know the output is going to be what it says it is. When you move onto a large commercial setting you can scale your operations to heights. With larger operations, you reduce costs in the long run, allowing more product to be done in one batch. As you scale, you can continue adding fully automatic settings, creating lower labor costs as well.
