100Kg Food Freeze Dryer ODM Project in Japan

The international commercial application of freeze-drying equipment began in the 1950s, marking a pivotal advancement in industrial processing technology. Its initial adoption was within the pharmaceutical sector, where the need to stabilize vaccines, antibiotics, and other sensitive biological materials without compromising their efficacy was paramount. The success of the technology in this demanding field demonstrated its unparalleled capability for preserving the essential properties of complex organic compounds, leading to its rapid expansion into other industries. Among these, the food industry emerged as a major area for growth and innovation.

The development of freeze dryer technology has consistently progressed in parallel with evolving industrial requirements in sectors like healthcare and food preservation. It addresses fundamental needs for extended shelf life, lightweight transportation, and the retention of nutritional value, sensory qualities, and active ingredients. To this day, industrial freeze drying remains a cornerstone of high-end dehydration technology, indispensable for applications where quality and precision cannot be compromised.

A landmark moment in the food industry occurred in 1965 with the launch of "Nescafé Gold Blend" by Nestlé. This product represented the first major commercial breakthrough for freeze-drying in food, successfully translating the technology into a popular consumer good. It proved that the process could deliver superior flavor and instant convenience, setting a new standard for quality in instant beverages. Today, within food processing, freeze dryers are essential for manufacturing a wide array of premium products. This includes high-quality instant drinks, nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables for snacks and ingredients, specialized space food and lightweight mountaineering rations, and high-end, natural pet food formulas that prioritize ingredient integrity.

In a recent project highlighting our equipment's international reach and application diversity, the first 100-kilogram capacity freeze dryer exported by our company to Japan has successfully arrived at the client's facility. Following a thorough and precise two-week period dedicated to installation and systematic commissioning by our technical engineers, the unit was fully integrated into the production line. It has since commenced successful operation for the manufacture of freeze-dried pet food. The output from the machine underwent and passed the client's stringent product acceptance inspection protocols, confirming that both the equipment performance and the final product quality meet their exacting standards for this growing market segment.
