Pet food production
Products retain excellent rehydration, natural flavor, texture, and nutrients, making them ideal for export, premium retail, emergency rations, and long-term storage applications.
Material Preparation
Clean, cut, and pre-treat raw materials to ensure uniform freezing and drying.
Tray Loading and Freezing
Place products on trays and freeze them to below –25°C in a freezing tunnel or cold storage.
Vacuum Freeze Drying
Load frozen trays into the drying chambers. The vacuum system reduces chamber pressure, while radiant heating plates sublimates ice into vapor. The cold traps capture water vapor, maintaining vacuum and preventing condensation on the product.
Completion and Packaging
Introduce sterile air or nitrogen to normalize chamber pressure. Remove dried products, inspect, and package. Clean trays and prepare for the next production cycle.

LG-240 Freeze-drying equipment: Industrial Vacuum Lyophilizer Overview
The LG-240 freeze-drying equipment is an industrial-scale vacuum Freeze Dryer designed for large-volume production in the food, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and agricultural industries. Utilizing advanced vacuum lyophilization technology, the LG-240 ensures products are dried under low-pressure conditions while preserving nutritional value, flavor, color, and structural integrity.
This model is ideal for high-capacity batch operations and is suitable for sensitive or high-value products where consistent quality and extended shelf life are required.
High-Capacity Industrial Drying: Each chamber provides a drying area of 240 m², allowing large batch production.
Vacuum-Assisted Sublimation: Moisture is removed efficiently without compromising product quality.
Stainless Steel Drying Chamber: Durable, corrosion-resistant, and hygienic.
Radiant Heating Shelves: Uniform heat distribution ensures consistent drying across all trays.
Integrated Ice Condenser (Cold Trap): Captures sublimated water vapor at temperatures of –30°C to –40°C.
Automated Control System: PLC or PC-based system for precise temperature, vacuum, and cycle management.
Energy-Efficient Design: Optimized heating and refrigeration systems reduce operational costs.
Flexible Material Handling: Compatible with tray racks and sliding carts for efficient loading and unloading.
The LG-240 freeze-drying process consists of four main stages:
Raw materials are cleaned, cut, and portioned according to specifications.
Materials are spread evenly on trays to ensure uniform freezing and drying.
Products are frozen to –35°C or lower, forming ice crystals that allow efficient sublimation in the vacuum chamber.
The chamber is evacuated to a low-pressure environment using a vacuum pump.
Heat is applied via radiant shelves, causing ice in the product to sublimate directly into water vapor.
The water vapor is captured by the ice condenser, maintaining vacuum and preventing condensation in the chamber.
Slightly increasing the shelf temperature removes bound water.
Final moisture content is typically below 5%, ensuring long shelf life and stability.
Drying Chamber: Stainless steel cylinder with radiant heating shelves and airtight doors.
Ice Condenser (Cold Trap): Captures sublimated vapor efficiently.
Vacuum System: Maintains low-pressure conditions for consistent sublimation.
Heating System: Radiant shelves with precise temperature control for uniform drying.
Refrigeration System: Supports pre-freezing and cold trap operation.
Automated Control System: PLC or PC-based monitoring of temperature, vacuum, and cycle parameters.
Tray and Material Handling: Aluminum alloy trays on sliding racks for efficient loading and unloading.
