Laboratory freeze dryer FLFD series

processpilotfor the pharmaceutical industry

Product overview
The Foodline FLFD series commercial freeze dryers are vacuum lyophilization systems designed for industrial-scale preservation of food, pet products, pharmaceuticals and research samples. Available from compact benchtop models to high‑capacity production units, FLFD machines focus on energy-efficient drying, repeatable process control and straightforward operation for B2B manufacturing and R&D environments.

Key benefits

• High drying efficiency with optimized energy consumption
• Simplified operation: one‑touch or automated cycles for repeatability
• Industrial‑grade construction for continuous commercial use
• Compatible with a wide range of products: fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy, prepared meals, pet food, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics

What is freeze drying?
Freeze drying (lyophilization) removes water by freezing the product and lowering pressure to enable sublimation, preserving solids without passing through the liquid phase.

• Preserves taste, color and biological activity
• High nutrient retention
• Maintains product structure and appearance

Advantages of freeze drying

• High retention of nutritional and functional components (up to 97% as reported)
• Significantly extended shelf life (storage examples up to 25 years under proper conditions)
• Fresh-like taste and texture after rehydration
• Versatile for food, pet products, pharma samples, cosmetics and R&D
• Automated operation reduces labor and process variability
• Competitive operating costs at scale

Key components of a freeze dryer

• Vacuum chamber: controlled low-pressure environment for sublimation
• Condenser: captures and freezes evaporated moisture
• Shelves/trays: temperature-controlled support for even drying

Freeze drying stages

• Freezing: rapid or controlled freezing (example temperatures down to −50°C)
• Primary drying: ice sublimation under vacuum
• Secondary drying: removal of bound moisture to reach target residual levels

Industries / applications

• R&D and analytical labs
• Food & beverage production: fruits, vegetables, meals, snacks
• Pet food and treats manufacturing
• Pharmaceutical and biotech sample stabilization
• Cosmetics and ingredient preservation
• Emergency food supplies and long‑term storage
