  • Our take on the 6-Tray Large Home Freeze Dryer

    This is a home freeze dryer built for volume: six stainless steel trays, roughly 12 to 16 lbs of fresh food per batch, and up to about 2,500 lbs a year. It runs on a dedicated 110-volt, 20-amp circuit and caps a batch at 36 hours, then beeps when done. It ships with a vacuum pump, oil, an oil filter, 50 Mylar bags, 50 oxygen absorbers and an impulse sealer, so you can start packaging right away. Against smaller countertop freeze dryers it trades counter space and a dedicated circuit for far larger batches; the oil-change upkeep is the main recurring chore.

    About the 6-Tray Large Home Freeze Dryer

    This large home freeze dryer is made for freeze-drying fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy products, meals and desserts. It uses patented technology that preserves the taste, nutrition and texture of food. Freeze-dried food can be stored for up to 25 years.

    It handles 12-16 lbs. of food per batch, or about 2,500 lbs. of fresh food per year. That equals about 546 gallons of food per year. To use it, press start, and the unit beeps when the cycle is finished.

    Maintenance means filtering and replacing the pump oil, which takes 1 or 2 minutes.

    Questions and answers

    How much food does one batch hold?
    About 12 to 16 lbs of fresh food across the six trays. Over a year that adds up to roughly 2,500 lbs, or about 546 gallons.
    What kind of outlet does it need?
    A 110-volt NEMA 5-20 outlet on a dedicated 20-amp circuit. Plan the location around that, since it should not share the circuit.

    The maximum drying time is 36 hours. The machine beeps when the cycle finishes, so you do not have to watch it.
    What do I need to do for maintenance?
    Filter and replace the vacuum pump oil, which takes a minute or two. The pump, oil and an oil filter come in the box.
    What comes in the box?
    The freeze dryer, vacuum pump, pump oil, oil filter, six stainless steel trays, a freeze-drying guide, 50 Mylar bags, 50 oxygen absorbers and an impulse sealer.
    How big is it?
    About 20.25 inches wide, 23.75 inches deep and 30.75 inches high, at 138 lbs. Each tray is 9 by 20.5 inches.
