Why you’ll love it

• Bigger batches, fewer runs: Process up to 50 lb of food in one batch; 40 lb max ice capacity supports large throughput.
• Smart & steady control: Patented algorithm, zoned heating, and RTD sensors help you hit consistent endpoints.
• Faster pull-down: Shelf fans accelerate freezing so you can move into drying sooner.
• Cleaner, safer operation: Motorized ball valve helps prevent oil contamination; independent vacuum valve smooths pressure normalization.
• Industrial build: Glass-to-metal feed-through, stainless/aluminum major parts, stainless drain line, and replaceable solid-state relays.
