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", WxDxH 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)

It finally got here and we are soo excited!!

Still in the set-up stages, but we can’t wait to try our new toy!! We’ve been watching YouTube videos, of course we have subscribed to Blue Alpine’s channel, and have gotten some great ideas. From hot chocolate to sliced pickles! We’ll let you know how it goes, but the ordering process and communication with the company has been great!

Didn’t realize it came with a fancy cover! 😱

Very happy customer here!

My medium machine arrived a week or so ago in perfect condition with everything I needed to get started the next day. The set up and oil change videos, and the manual, covered everything I needed to know so I was very confident getting up and running. I’m learning with every batch and have been impressed with the results, and the quality and ease of use of the machine. As my experience and proficiency improve, I know I’ll have many years of discovery. My freeze dryer is a valuable tool for food security and reducing food waste in my household.

Thoroughly impressed

The turn around from order to delivery was faster that I expected. I received a phone call before shipping to make sure that I was going to be home for the arrival of my freeze drier. The unit was so well packed it is a testament to the customer satisfaction that Blue Alpine claims. I had the unit up and running within hours of delivery. I had wanted to have freeze dried skittles for my grandchildren for Christmas and boy did I. It is currently New Years Eve and I have made fruit, meals and freeze dried ice cream. I couldn't be happier with my investment. I appreciated the owners manual being provided in the form of printer paper stapled in the top corner rather than in a bound book format. I was able to take the recipe sheets and attach them to the cork board for easy review. Presenting it in this way, in my opinion a company focus on the quality of the hardware. I will be recommending Blue Alpine to my friends. Keep up the good work people. A happy and prosperous New Year to you all.

I LOVE my Blue Alpine! I actually received it on the 23 of December. I’ve only done one batch so far, the candy that came with my machine. The candy came out AMAZING and the taste is the same. The machine is SUPER easy to use…even for someone young who isn’t tech savvy (this woman). I will say, only use the break in oil ONCE and be sure to have oil on hand after. BA recommends Dairyland.

Slow start

Well after watching youtube and talking to Cory I wish the operation was a little easier to understand. I feel like I’m just crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.
