Commercial Freeze Dryers Built for Production

Commercial Freeze Dryers for Pilot Runs, Scale-Up, and Full Production

Parker Freeze Dry builds commercial freeze drying equipment for companies ready to move beyond small batch drying and into reliable, repeatable production. From product development to high-volume processing, our freeze dryers are designed to help food, pet food, nutraceutical, and specialty product manufacturers improve throughput, control cycle performance, and produce consistent freeze-dried products. Every Parker Freeze Dry system is assembled in South Dakota using industrial-grade components, stainless steel vacuum chambers, automated controls, deep vacuum technology, and production-focused refrigeration systems.

Features
Built for Industrial Freeze Drying Performance

 

stainless
Stainless Steel Vacuum Chambers

Parker vacuum chambers are built from heavy-duty stainless steel and designed for durability, cleanability, and long-term production use. The glass bead blasted finish creates easy-to-clean surfaces throughout the chamber, supporting sanitary processing and efficient maintenance.

Automated Allen-Bradley Controls

Parker freeze dryers use Allen-Bradley PLC controls with Rockwell programming, making the equipment easier to operate, monitor, and adjust. Automated controls allow operators to ramp or reduce heat, control sublimation, manage vacuum and refrigeration performance, and collect data for trend analysis and cycle development.

pumps
Deep Vacuum System

Parker systems use Leybold dry screw vacuum pumps and boosters to achieve deep vacuum throughout the freeze drying process. This oil-free vacuum design helps eliminate oil back streaming risk while reducing the frequency of maintenance and repairs.

Carts
Heated Carts and Cartridge Options

Parker’s heated carts are aluminum constructed for efficient heat transfer and designed to use standard-sized baking trays. Available cart configurations provide flexibility based on tray clearance, product height, and processing needs.

REFRI
Industrial Refrigeration System

The Magna condenser unit from Heatcraft is an industrial-grade refrigeration system custom designed for Parker Freeze Dry equipment. Proper condenser performance supports efficient ice capture, stable system operation, and consistent freeze drying results.

Vapor Condenser Plates

Aluminum vapor condenser plates are arranged in parallel circuits to create a direct expansion refrigeration coil. The high ratio of cold plate surface area to system capacity supports effective freeze drying, while hot gas defrost helps remove residual ice after processing.

Freeze Drying Equipment Designed
Around Your Operation

Choosing a commercial freeze dryer is not just about chamber size. It is about capacity, cycle control, maintenance, utilities, product handling, and how the equipment fits into your process.
