What kind of foods can be freeze-dried?

Most foods, including fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy, and full meals, can be freeze-dried. The process removes water while preserving nutrients and flavour.

How long do freeze-dried foods last?

When properly stored in airtight packaging, freeze-dried foods can last for many years, often exceeding 20-25 years, due to the minimal moisture content.

What maintenance is typically required for a home freeze dryer?

The primary maintenance involves regularly replacing the vacuum pump oil, typically every 20 to 30 batches, and ensuring the unit is kept clean.

Is a special power supply needed for these units?

For the UK market, these units are generally designed to run on a standard 230V household or light industrial power outlet.

What is included with a new freeze dryer of this type?

New units commonly include the freeze dryer, an industrial vacuum pump, vacuum pump oil, oil filter, stainless steel trays, a user guide, and often starter supplies like Mylar bags and oxygen absorbers.
