Hibrid freeze dryer

Offering main image Contact : Institute of Agricultural Engineering Contact to: Adam Figiel (adam.figiel@upwr.edu.pl). Year of purchase : 2023, equipment ID : 99, type : Prototype Hartimex. Efficient freeze drying with optional heat sources such as traditional heated shelves or infrared radiation or microwaves. Infrared radiation better penetrates the frozen material, increasing sublimation, while microwaves drastically reduce the desorption time and therefore the total process time and thus energy consumption.
