Recently, our self-developed intelligent low-temperature vacuum drying equipment successfully passed final acceptance and was delivered to a well-known Korean health food manufacturer. This milestone underscores international recognition of our advanced drying technology and further expands our presence in the East Asian market.
The client specializes in natural plant extracts and functional foods, demanding exceptional retention of active ingredients, precise temperature control, and high hygiene standards during drying. Conventional hot-air drying often degrades heat-sensitive compounds, while freeze-drying—though effective at preserving quality—suffers from high energy consumption and long processing cycles. To address these challenges, we provided a customized low-temperature vacuum continuous drying solution that balances product quality, energy efficiency, and production capacity.
Key Advantages:
Low-Temperature & High Efficiency: Drying under vacuum at ≤45°C effectively preserves heat-sensitive components such as polyphenols and vitamins, yielding products with excellent color retention and rehydration properties.
Intelligent Control: Integrated PLC + HMI system enables remote monitoring, data logging, and automatic parameter optimization, supporting digitalized production.
GMP Compliance: Entire unit constructed with 316L stainless steel, meeting international food-grade hygiene standards and compatible with CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems.
Energy Savings: Equipped with an efficient heat recovery system, reducing overall energy consumption by approximately 40% compared to traditional freeze-drying equipment.
The equipment passed a rigorous 72-hour continuous operation test on-site on the first attempt, exceeding all contractual performance specifications. The client’s technical lead commented:
“This equipment has resolved our long-standing challenge of balancing drying efficiency with product quality. Its stability and intelligence far exceeded our expectations—it is a key enabler for our smart manufacturing upgrade.”
