GEA RAY Freeze Dryer

Batch freeze-drying family for a specified frozen food load.

Questions to settle before a quotation

  • How are the food pre-frozen, loaded and presented to the dryer?
  • What input mass, dry product mass and complete batch cycle define usable output?
  • Which vacuum, refrigeration, condenser and cleaning services are included?

Ask bidders to state trial material, accepted output, losses, utilities, changeover time and scope exclusions in writing. Compare the offered configuration using the same recipe and acceptance criteria.

Equipment trial & quotation guide

Selection boundaries

The largest daily input example on the manufacturer page uses six RAY 125 systems, not one dryer; no family maximum is assigned to a single unit here. Freeze drying does not by itself establish a kill step, retained nutrient percentage or shelf life.

Buyer guides

Dryer trials & mass balance

Compare feed, water removal and accepted finished product on separate bases.

Dryer utilities & interfaces

Define heating, air, vacuum, refrigeration and cleaning connections for the selected duty.

Dried-product handling & packing

Connect discharge, cooling, transfer and packaging to the agreed product requirements.

Common questions

How should dryer output be compared?

Keep incoming feed, removed water and accepted dried product separate. Use the same material and trial basis.

Does drying replace the food-safety process?

Define any required treatment and product-release evidence separately. Equipment selection alone does not establish a validated food process.
