NextGen Freeze drying

The Big Freeze Drying Revolution is Finally Here!

Unlike any other freeze dryer, ever.

It took many years of intensive R&D but we did it! It’s really unfortunate that your current freeze dryers are now outdated. You can still use them to produce products when high quality, energy consumption and retaining all good ingredients do not matter.

.

1.. You don’t need expensive experts to do programming manually. Our AI will do it for you.

2.. Yield is 100% and the spillage is 0%

3.. Retains 97% or more of the active nutrients

4.. The moisture is lower than 1% without exceeding 30°C

5.. The whole process is AI-optimized and the fastest on the market

6.. It is environmentally friendly: saves typically 50% of energy and we use safe refrigerant.

7.. Cost effective

8.. It is not necessary to clean the whole factory after changing the product.

Our machine does programming better than any human programmer and it improves the process after every run if possible. We don’t overheat (spoil) the product as we know exactly what is the right time to go from sublimation phase to heating. It means better products and less energy.

If you think that you get uniform quality when you measure some samples’ interior temperature, you are wrong.

 We have done academic papers about active nutrients. We have seen that some companies have used our studies and claim of retaining 97% of active components. This is true only when you use our proprietary method. Measuring yourself is believing.

When the humidity level is below 1%, all microbial activity stops and your product remains perfect for decades.

We don’t misuse time to overheat products or melt ice inside the chamber – we do it simply better.

Today it is essential to save energy and we save up to 50% what you may use today. Our refrigerant is CO₂; it doesn’t explode, it is not poisonous and it is cheap. It’s Global Warming Potential is only 1; currently EU max is 2500 units.

When you change the product you are drying, you have to clean the whole environment (floors, walls, ceiling). In our case you don’t have to do that; it is often enough to clean the cart with trays.

What is amazing, you get all these benefits and still you are more cost effective than others using old freeze drying machines.

We do the main task using AI-software after measuring the process very accurately. We could even say that our machine is more software than hardware. We have made a number of hardware inventions, as well.

All this is the result of 10 years (since 2013) of intensive research and development. Now we are ready to deliver it to other organisations, as well.

Can we Deliver?

Yes, we can!

*** Our standard size machine dries 1500kg products but due to our modular concept, we can deliver other sizes, as well

*** We have developed and tested the concept since 2013

*** Hundreds of products have been tested in the process

*** Infinitely scalable

*** Unprecedented product quality

*** Medical and haute cuisine grade

Basically you put frozen products to a chamber containing very cold condensing plates (-50°C in our case or lower for special medical cases). Then you suck up all the air which corresponds to the air pressure 200 km above your head.

This starts sublimation where water is transferred from the product to the condensers. In the second phase we heat the product up to 30°C to get rid of the rest of the moisture.

You can freeze dry all food products. The result is authentic flavor and nutrients of your favorite fresh food, preserved with absolutely no additives and with a sustainable, efficient method. It turns fresh food into healthy instant snacks or if you prefer, placing them in water turns them back to fresh. Just the way they were before they were dried.

All this applies to fresh raw food and cooking equally well. Fresh salad is just as fresh and crispy as it originally was, dry meat can be rehydrated and cooked into a juicy rare steak and gravlax is still gravlax, with no heat-induced discoloration.

Freeze drying applies to medical material, too, and even to wet documents.

How did we come to this?

Jacques-Arsene d’Arsonval invented freeze drying already 1906 in College de France in Paris. WW2 blood plasma was transported freeze dried from USA to Europe. Nescafé Gold®, 1965, was the first real commercial application of this technology.

All current freeze dryer vendors use basically same technology from 1960s. We have stepped to 2020s and we will continue to develop it further.
