I sent Harvest Right a note with a picture and they immediately shipped me a new display. Great Service again from the support team there! I think water had dripped down the front and the back of the unit and onto the display card shorting it out.
Reattached hose and ran another full system test (results, 750 mTorr lowest steady reading - looking through the oil level window, some bubbling seen in oil even after an hour of pumpdown - some "air" noises from pump)
Evaluating efficiency and operational success is essential in selecting the right freeze dryer. One of the most important factors is capacity. For small batch production, pharmaceutical companies need precise and accurate freeze dryers, while food producers require large scale systems for mass production. Aligning a freeze dryer with the production requirements increases efficiency.
After it’s processed, I weigh the tray again and subtract the ending weight from the beginning weight. That tells me how much water to add for reconstitution. I like to write on the mylar bag or jar lid how much water to add so I don’t have to guess when I am ready to reconstitute the food.
Another option that can work well is teaming up with like-minded friends or family members to purchase a freeze dryer together.
I want my son to have great meals on Thanksgiving and Christmas, just as the rest of us do. And it’s not feasible for me to cook the entire meal for a huge crowd.
The differing vacuum levels during the system tests would be consistent with either a door seal leak or an drain valve leak.
Hence, the Industrial Pump is especially not affected by warm, ambient conditions. When temperatures rise, it will pull a vacuum far better than the Standard Pump. The Industrial Pump is just not affected by outside heat. It pulls the same deep vacuum even when it is in a warm environment.
The evaporator coils that touch the surface of the stainless steel vacuum chamber reach about -42 F. With food in the chamber and because the location of the thermister is on the middle shelf of the four shelves, the Know More temperature it records is going to range website from -25 to -30 F in the nove hour default freeze time. This temperature is very adequate for freeze drying the food.
This is the case with meats as well. The trick with meats is to cook out as much fat as possible, then run it under water to remove even more fat. However, you can also freeze dry raw meat as well.
- Complete Meals: Casseroles and soups can also be freeze-dried for convenient meal prep options later on.
6) The first place was the cold return line into the compressor. It had insulation, but a second layer helped stop the constant drips. I used black electrical tape to secure the foam.
Depending on how you want to use freeze dried food, it doesn’t have to be reconstituted. There are some freeze dried foods I like to powder in my blender or food processor and then add to other foods. These powders can be used in smoothies, soups, and baked goods.
