Freeze Dry Candy Faster (Food Too)

Speed up your candy freeze-drying with the Blue Alpine Freeze Dryer! Users have the flexibility to set the pressure limit for each recipe. This lets the candy undergo the freeze-drying process at a significantly faster rate compared to other foods. With the Blue Alpine, you can freeze-dry Skittles in as little as a couple of hours! Additionally, our freeze dryer includes a distinctive "Candy Prewarm" feature designed specifically for certain hard candies like Jolly Ranchers, providing the extra heat needed to puff up and facilitate the freeze-drying process. Read more about freeze-drying candy in our blog post.

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 researching, 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 thread-locker 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 6-18 hours depending on the load. 
  • The bottom tray has a higher wattage heating pad so the bottom tray stays the same temp 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. 



Specs:

  • Overall Machine Size: 20" x 21" x 30", 110 lbs
  • Up to 15lbs of food per cycle
  • 5 trays (standard 9x13 inch)
  • Average freeze-drying cycles take 12-20 hours 
  • Candy Mode: 2-4 hours for most candies
  • Plexiglass Door Thickness: 1 inch
  • 120V, 15A Breaker (Normal Wall Outlet) 
  • 13 Amps Maximum Power Draw (1560W max)
  • 9.0 Amps Average Power Draw (1080W average)

 

Shipping 

  • Shipping for the lower 48 states is free 
  • For shipping to Alaska or Hawaii contact us for a quote 
  • For shipping to Canada or Mexico contact us for a quote 

  

Warranty 

  • 3-years limited warranty. 
  • This is 3 years of use, not just 3 calendar years. So if the machine breaks for any reason this will stop the clock on the warranty until it is fixed. 
  • See warranty policy for details.

Still learning

I think I’m going to really like this Alpine Blue. I need to learn more about the recipes and adjusting temp accordingly. Having issues with ‘burning’ taste on fruit. I need help in learning more about setting the temp on so not to burn sugar in fruit. Do you turn drying temp down, and if so how much? Been surfing web looking for answers, but haven’t been able to find. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated before I start my next batch of strawberries.

Running nonstop

We got our medium Blue Alpine and it hasn’t had a day off! We’ve done chicken, potatoes, chili, apples and ice cream just to name a few things. We were a little overwhelmed at first but it’s really been easy. So far we’ve just used the settings that are preprogrammed into the unit. I have strawberries and bananas in there now. Can’t wait to see how they turn out

Third day, great results and lessons learned.

One batch of pears, one batch of apples. Then I tried candy. Skittles were great, but don't fill trays full like manual hinted was possible. Spread them out and make room for doubling of volume. Skip gummy anything and just don't do it. I glued every tray into the rack and spent an hour cleaning up with hot water. Total fail.

Buy it! Just do it! You will be happier!

Not only do they have excellent customer service, but they can also answer any and all questions.

So I ordered a freeze dryer from them. It got here within 5 days and the machine's quality and looks are incredible.

Just beautiful...

Even the silicone mats for the trays are superb. They fit the trays perfectly and go all the way up the sides, formfitting the trays. Which means liquids won't go under the silicone mat dirtying up the tray itself!

It even has a built-in waterproof fan to speed up defrosting.

Great design, light-years ahead of the competition. Faster than the rest.

3 years warranty and all parts available to buy online and user replaceable if needed after that...

Would I buy again? Absolutely!
There is no other choice...
