It's just right to use a food freeze dryer.
The food freeze-drying machine consists of a refrigeration system, a vacuum system, a heating system, and an electrical instrument control system. The main components of the food freeze-dryer are drying oven, condenser, freezing unit, vacuum pump, heating/cooling device and so on. The principle of the food freeze dryer is to freeze the items to be dried to below the triple point temperature, and then vacuum the solid water (ice) in the items to directly sublimate into water vapor, remove from the items, make the items dry. After the material is pre-treated, it is sent to a quick-freezing chamber for freezing, then sent to a drying warehouse for sublimation and dehydration, and then packaged in a post-processing workshop. The vacuum system establishes a low pressure condition for the sublimation drying chamber, the heating system provides the sublimation latent heat to the material, and the refrigeration system provides the required coldness to the cold trap and the drying chamber. The equipment adopts high-efficiency radiant heating, the material is heated evenly, adopts high-efficiency catching cold trap, and can achieve rapid defrosting; adopts high-efficiency vacuum unit and can realize oil-water separation; adopts parallel centralized refrigeration system, multi-channel on-demand cooling, working conditions Stable and energy-saving; artificial intelligence control, high control accuracy, easy operation.
The quality requirements for freeze-dried products are: constant biological activity, uniform appearance, color, full shape, firm structure, fast dissolution rate, and low residual moisture. To obtain high-quality products, we should have a more comprehensive understanding of the theory and process of freeze-drying. The freeze-drying process includes pre-freeze, sublimation and re-freezing three stages. Reasonably and effectively shortening the cycle of lyophilization has obvious economic value in industrial production.
When using a food freeze-dryer for the first time, the components of the instrument must be thoroughly cleaned. The stainless steel parts should be cleaned with ethanol. The organic glass should be cleaned with normal saline.
Freeze-drying must be pre-frozen, pre-action need to prepare a low-temperature refrigerator, minus 40 degrees Celsius, or minus 80 degrees Celsius low-temperature refrigerator, the preparation of dry items placed in a low-temperature refrigerator or liquid nitrogen, generally takes about four hours, Can be observed directly from the outside, after the article is completely frozen in ice, can be freeze-dried experiments, the items quickly moved to the food freeze dryer tray, in order to ensure the freeze-drying effect.
The main unit of the food freeze-drying machine is connected with the vacuum pump by a green vacuum tube, and the connection uses an international standard clamp. In order to effectively prevent the leakage of air, this type of clamp is specially designed with a sealing rubber ring inside the clamp. In the method of preventing air leakage, apply a proper amount of vacuum grease to the rubber ring, and then tighten the clamps to make the joints fit together more closely. If there is no clamping clamp, it will cause air leakage, resulting in the dashboard display digital value is greater than 20pa when vacuum extraction, this time should check the airtightness of the vacuum pump and food freeze dryer glass cover.
There are two power sockets on the right side board of the host of the food freeze-dryer machine. One is to connect the power cable of the vacuum pump to the host, and then the main power of the second food freeze-dryer is plugged in.
Before the vacuum pump operates, it must be checked whether the vacuum pump oil is added or it will not operate normally. The oil level must not be lower than the midline of the oil mirror. When the vacuum pump is used at the beginning, it has a relatively strong jitter and slowly becomes smooth. If the airtightness is not good, some vacuum grease should be applied to the sealing rubber ring above the cold trap, the plexiglass cover should be lightly screwed on the rubber ring, and the airtightness should be tested by opening the vacuum pump to ensure the integrity of the gas seal.
