The Food Freeze Dryer by Zirbus is purpose-built for bulk material drying in the food and feed industries. Designed for laboratories in South Africa, this system is ideal for drying products like fruits, berries, truffles, herbs, cannabis, and animal feed. At Apex Scientific, we supply this powerful and efficient solution to meet large-scale processing needs.
High Capacity and Modular Design
This freeze dryer offers an outstanding ice capacity of up to 1,200 kg. Depending on the selected configuration, the system footprint can reach up to 90 m². As part of the EKS-R series, the “R” refers to “Radiation” heating. This technology uses water-flooded heated shelves to distribute radiant heat evenly, supporting effective and energy-efficient drying.
Innovative Drying Technology
The unit includes suspended trays that avoid direct contact with the heat source. This design promotes uniform temperature distribution and faster drying. As a result, bulk materials benefit from consistent results and shorter processing times. The increased surface area further enhances drying performance.
