Compared With The Alternatives
| Spray dryer | Spray drying is far cheaper per kilogram for liquids at volume; freeze drying preserves colour, aroma and structure and is the route for premium products and fruit pieces. |
|---|---|
| Hot air drying | Hot air is cheapest of all but changes colour and flavour; freeze drying is chosen when the product has to rehydrate and taste like the original. |
Use Guide
- Send the product, its shape and its input moisture percentage so the cycle can be designed
- Prove the cycle at pilot scale before ordering a production machine
- Allow for long cycle times when planning production capacity
- Keep the recorder output as part of the batch record
