What makes us Different:

Here at Blue Alpine, we are serious about three things: freeze dryers, quality, and customer service. We are never satisfied with the status quo, and we push for improvement through research, engineering, and testing.  

A lot of minor improvements add up to a huge difference in quality. Ultimately, our machines are simply superior. 
  • 25% more cooling capacity, which translates to up to 25% faster batches.
  • Built in Idaho by technicians who hold themselves to a higher standard. 
  • A circulating fan inside the chamber blast-freezes the food, creating better quality food and faster freeze times. 
  • A P100 filter inside the chamber protects your vacuum pump from particulates, increasing the lifespan of the vacuum pump. 
  • The trays are a food industry standard size (quarter sheet pan, 9x13), so you can easily buy more pans from your local stores. 
  • Each machine goes through several hours of quality control tests to make sure every component of the machine is operating within normal parameters before it ships. 
  • Smart software utilizes PID control technology and solid-state relays to accurately freeze-dry your food.
  • We use a natural refrigerant (R1270) that is future-proof, unlike R404 or R410, which will be discontinued soon.
  • On our machine, all vacuum fittings are barbed fittings. We do not use crimped fittings, which are prone to vacuum leaks. 
  • We use a gasket material to seal all threads. We do not use Teflon Tape which is also leak-prone. 
  • The frame of our machines is made with extruded aluminum and is incredibly durable.  
  • Recipes built into the software allow you to optimize your freeze-drying cycles. Candy, for example, can get done in about 2 hours. Fruit, on the other hand, takes about 10-18 hours, depending on the load. 
  • The bottom tray has a higher wattage heating pad, so the bottom tray stays the same temperature as the rest. 
  • If we send out a bad machine, we don't hide behind warranty fine print. We own our mistake and make it right.

New Medium Blue Alpine Unit

Excellent ordering experience. The shippers were great. The machine came in without a blemish. I followed the directions and made the candy and then bananas. The firmware update was uneventful Now making apple slices. Thanks

So far, so Good

So far everything has worked as it should. Defiantly a learning curve, but a little research goes a long ways. Machine has had zero issues. Food has come out as it should. Changing the oil is a simple 2-3 minute job. Only issue I have had with the whole process was when I called to order my machine, the person who answered the phone knew they sold the machines locally, but did not know where I could buy one locally or what company sold their products. You would think that would be something a person answering the phone would know. Overall, definatley would recommend Blue Alpine freeze dryers.
