Commercial freeze drying requires a specific number of watts per pound, and the energy draw reflects the massive processing power of this unit. Other Xl units on the market draw only half the power and are therefore twice as slow compared to our machine. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of vacuum pump is included?\u003c\/strong\u003e It comes standard with a commercial oil pump.

We recommend pre-freezing your food to keep cycle times as short as possible. We also give you total control over the cycle (such as adjusting pressure) to optimize production for short cycle times. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I run a partial batch?\u003c\/strong\u003e Absolutely.
