Contract Drying
Contract Drying Service for Industry
As a leading multi-product freeze drying company, European Freeze Dry works with manufacturing companies both large and small to develop appropriate drying processes for a diverse range of products. We concentrate on researching the application of low temperature and low pressure for the preservation of delicate materials.
Over the years, our company has acquired a wealth of expertise in freeze drying in a wide range of applications, including but not limited to:
- Speciality Chemicals
- Natural Enzymes
- Biological Products
- Pigments
- Resins
- Active Pharmaceutical Intermediates
- Nutraceutical
- Baby and Infant Food
- Food Ingredients
- Flavourings
- Flood damage/Document Recovery
The freeze drying process is particularly suitable for products which are sensitive to heat, oxidation, or are shear sensitive.
The key benefits of freeze drying are:
- Retention of structure and surface area
- Retention of morphological, biochemical and immunological properties
- High viability/activity levels maintained through the drying cycle
- Lower temperature, oxygen, and shear conditions compared to other drying methods
- High recovery of volatiles
- Retention of Flavonoids
- Retention of Antioxidants
- High yield
- Long shelf life of dried product
- Reduced weight for shipping, storage and handling
We work closely with our customers to develop freeze drying protocols to ensure optimum yields of the highest quality.
