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. Over the years, our company has acquired a wealth of expertise in freeze drying in a wide range of applications:
- Speciality Chemicals
- Natural Enzymes
- Biological Products
- Pigments
- Resins
- Active Pharmaceutical Intermediates
- 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
- 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. By joining forces with the other member of our freeze drying family (Oregon Freeze Dry in Albany, OR, USA,) we have combined our research and development resources to offer access to world class technical advice and problem solving skills.
